Yes. You can mash (as in enzymatically convert starches to sugars, not as in mashed-potatoes) any gourd (think pumpkin, squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes). They tend not to add too much noticeable flavor to a beer (just a general earthiness and some color contribution) so it's often recommended to oven roast them a little first to get some caramelization. Here is a recipe that uses sweet potatoes.

All of Tolkien's original artwork from the Hobbit is fantastic. My copy has several interspersed throughout the book including my absolute favorite: Conversation with Smaug by J.R.R Tolkien which I shamelessly edited to make another beer label a while back: Beer label for a beer called Bane of Dale

EDIT: I guess I hadn't looked for more webcomic communities in a while and there are more available now which have people actually posting OC to instead of just reposting from elsewhere with no discussion. I'll leave my original comment below regardless.

I'm of mixed opinion about this. I only subscribe to one bot-led community (!comics@lemmit.online) and whilst I hate that every comic is just reposted from Reddit by the bot and so has no comments or discussion, it seems that no comic creators are posting to Lemmy yet and so I would rather still be able to see the content they are creating than miss it entirely. I understand that both the community and the bot are hosted on lemmit.online so they won't be affected by the bot policy of lemm.ee but it still speaks to the problem of lack of content posted to Lemmy in general (at least in certain communities).

Here is the recipe I'm going with. I'm planning on doing a long (~120 minute) boil to get some caramelization of the wort for color and depth of flavor and also because I think having a fairly thin mash will help avoid a stuck sparge.

Original post:

My homebrew club has an annual fundraiser every year where all the brewers have to adhere to a theme that changes every time. This year's theme is adjuncts and I've been assigned Oats as an adjunct. Now I have brewed several Oatmeal stouts in my time and I want to go for something more interesting and out of the ordinary. I was thinking of Brewing a Barley wine with a hefty portion of the grain bill switched out for oats to make an Oat-wine if you will.

I was just wondering if anyone had any other wacky suggestions? I have access to pretty much all the ingredients available (I actually manage a Homebrew store) and several months before the event itself which is in mid October. As an aside, if anyone is going to be in NYC in mid October and wants to go to a fantastic event where you can try approximately 30 different beers made by some excellent home brewers have I got the event for you!

The skeptic in me just reads this as "all seats will now be at the higher price"

What character were you playing as and what combination of cards/relics made it so satisfying?

For me, I just had a (unfortunately unsuccessful) run as the silent which consistently generated 7 or 8 energy per turn because of [Hovering Kite] and [Tools of the Trade] as well as 2 copies of [Tactician] and [Acrobatics]. All this energy I was pouring into [Poisoned Stab] and [Bouncing Flask] and just generally having a very good time poisoning the hell out of everyone and trying to generate enough defence with an [After Image] to turtle my way to victory in every fight. My deck unfortunately struggled with AoE and eventually I fell to the Scourge of all singular-target-focused decks, Reptomancer.

It isn't possible to overstate the impact this story has had on all kinds of media (books, films, video games, music etc) since it was first published in 1955. The world Tolkien writes about feels alive and full of history (in part because he spent years creating a complete overarching mythos and history of this world and the people in it (of which the Lord of the Rings is but a small part).

I'm running the latest beta (1.0.82) so firstly I like to say thank you for updating the community listing in the side panel! It now is correctly showing all the communities I'm subscribed to.

My feature request I would like to see in the app (and someone please point me to it if it already exists) is a post Score threshold filter. What I mean by this is, I like to browse posts by new so that I see more rapid change/turnover in my feed. Sometimes posts appear that have an extremely negative post Score (most recent example I have seen was at -41). If I were browsing by hot, or top or any of the other sorting algorithms, these posts would be weighted so low that they wouldn't appear. Is there a way to set a score threshold (say something like -5 (or even better make it user settable)) so that any posts with a score below that threshold get filtered out of all feeds?

As arrogant as it is, I've brewed enough beer in my life that I feel it's too easy without the added handicap of being drunk...

As the title says, I brewed a Brown Wheat Ale with Applewood-Smoked Leaf Hops. This was my first time using smoked hops and I'm happy with the result. They imparted more of a subtle smoke flavor than smoked malt. Recipe is available here if anyone is interested.

You can change the settings to do exactly this! "reverse comment interactions" is the setting you need to enable.

I still miss some of the more niche music subreddits, (updating this as I discover relevant communities)

They're just banking on the fact that a ton of people either don't know that all their data is being collected or (even worse) don't care that this is the case.

As far as I can tell, Lemmy server update 0.18 will improve upon relative linking of instances so that a link such as /c/community@lemmyinstance (or the even simpler !community@lemmyinstance) will take everyone to their own instances' version of community@lemmyinstance (see this comment for a more detailed description)

You're missing out! Kiwis are great to eat whole. Way less messy as well (no need to dirty a knife or a spoon to eat them). Plus as an added bonus you get to freak out people who don't know that you can eat the skin!
