The image compression problem is on iphone's end, and they do it specifically to coerce you into buying an iphone.

How about candy advertisements? Soda? Coffee? Anything with sugar in it?

If it's brand new, I strongly recommend passivating first with citric acid. Soaking in citric acid removes free iron at the surface, then the chromium will react with oxygen in the air to form a protective shiny barrier. I didn't passivate my kettle first and got a small buildup of iron in the trub and some slight staining. It's not a big deal and the beer is totally fine, but I still would do it if I bought another one. I just let it soak in acid, then wipe it clean with a paper towel (while wearing gloves) and let it air dry. Citric acid also removes beer stone from kettles and is pretty cheap.

Eliminate zoning and other regulations that make it impossible to build sufficient housing supply.

I totally agree. More housing would be built if we were to just fix our broken zoning regulations and building approval processes but everyone is obsessed with banning Airbnb.

I've been no chil brewing for about 5 batches now and have noticed no ill effects. In fact, I've made some of my best beers. The only thing I don't like is that cleaning the cube is a bit of a pain in the ass, and I don't have any surplus hot water to clean my pump and kettle with. I think I definitely end up using a lot less water overall though which makes me feel good. Water is cheap and plentiful where I am so that isn't a huge deal, though I do like the saved time during brew day. I'm trying to make my IPAs more bitter anyway so that part doesn't bother me.

The historical significance of anchor is really neat. It's everywhere in San Francisco. Reminds me of Narragansett in Rhode Island.

I've made some very clear beers with no chill with no whirlflock/Irish moss. I don't notice much of a difference.

I'm going to keg an IPA today made with 90% marris otter 10% table sugar, hoped with Idaho 7 and Mandarina Bavaria, then dry hopped with BRU-1. I am trying to make something Pliny the elder/heady topper inspired, so quite bitter, no oats/wheat, heavy on sulfates, and heavily dry hopped. This is my first iteration with another to follow in a few brews. This one also used a Kveik blend I had on hand. Next one will use verdant dry yeast.

8oz is a huge dry hop charge. Sounds good. No boil hops?

Why would you want to ban short term rentals when you could instead build more housing supply? Short term rentals bring in tons of money not only to property owners, but to the local area at large. Housing isn't a zero sum game where in order to have short term rentals, long term rental supply must go down. Zoning laws make it impossible to build high density housing and approvals for large building projects are subject to the whims of the local planning board or city council rather than concrete laws and requirements. If we were to fix zoning regulations and improve approval processes, you could have plenty of housing supply for both short term rentals and long term, and the community would be better off.

Feel free to make whatever you'd like, but I see no reason mead posts can't go in homebrewing. I don't make mead, but still would find the posts interesting.

I've been brewing IPAs in plastic buckets for years, and I make some pretty good ones without taking too much special care. I don't really think a whole pressure fermentation kit is necessary to make hoppy beers. I do think kegging makes a big difference. I imagine bottling could result in a lot more oxygen ingress. I also can drink my kegged beer the next day, so that's nice.

Yeah I do like a little Munich in a standard IPA or pale ale, but I don't think double IPAs need much more than a darker pale malt. I think you are correct about stirring but I'm too lazy. Just going to make a slightly smaller batch next time.

Nice. You might be able to cut your boil time way down if you wanted. Maybe a pain if you are already dialed in with your system efficiency and whatnot though.

Actually I'd suggest buying hop plants. They are more established than rhizomes, so you will get hops sooner! I bought mine from great lakes hops I think and I would recommend them. I currently grow teamaker hops.

Idk my cat is just an asshole, and I keep him out of the basement so he doesn't steal my o-rings.

Some people also call them Jerry cans. Here's an example on Amazon. I think they were originally made for water storage. cube

This is fucking hilarious. Ai might steal our shitposting jobs.

I'm not assuming anyone will act in good faith. Developers should build whatever is profitable. If they build a whole building of new short term rentals, that will increase the amount of existing units that become available to long term rentals. It seems like you just don't like tourism in your area.
