  3. Personally I think we have to resign Freddy and hope that Woody gives us another year on a team friendly deal.

    The fact that the club declined Willy’s option shows that they’re looking at restructuring his contract and giving him a long term deal.

    With all things considered this team was young and inexperienced in the playoffs and we had a great year so I expect us to have a 100+ win season next year and back in the same spot! Pretty optimistic!

  4. What the hell is that?? I assumed it was some sort of small plate grinder or something and you had a grain question haha

    Also, “conditioning” refers to natural carbonization by adding a small amount of yeast food (sugar) and sealing the bottles. You need to measure the sugar carefully to prevent the yeast from remaining active and increasing the pressure in the sealed containers until something gives, aka “bottle bombs”

  14. In these uncertain times these are the moments that bring me the most joy on the internet.

  20. I think you gotta go out and see what kind of rotation help is out there. Maybe it starts with Quintana but another arm would probably be good

  22. I thought this was a coffee/cold brew machine at first and was thinking “a lost coffee brewer here would be a first”

  27. Looks like you’re using a BrewArt / BeerDroid system (or something similar). The “conditioning” step is totally normal — it’s just the phase where the cider matures, clarifies, and carbonates.

    Here’s what to do next:
    1. Yes, start conditioning now. Once fermentation is complete (the app says “done brewing”), the next step is to move it to bottles or kegs for conditioning.
    2. Cold conditioning (in the fridge) helps the yeast settle and improves flavor clarity. Usually this is 48 hours to a few days depending on the app instructions.
    3. If you’re bottle conditioning, make sure you’ve added priming sugar (if required) before sealing — that’s what carbonates it. Then refrigerate afterward for the recommended period.
    4. If you’re keg conditioning, just chill it down and let it sit under pressure to carbonate naturally.

  29. Shoving it in the fridge will stop fermentation and if you get it cold enough you will get solids to fall out and collect at the bottom.

    “Conditioning” is one of those funky terms that is pretty broad. It’s usually used to describe the last step in brewing when you naturally carbonate. As in toss some sugar water into the fermenter, bottle, and throw the cap on to let the yeast eat the sugar and carbonate the bottles.

    What’s the step after the conditioning in your instructions?

    Also, better not let us down with an early exit in playoffs! It’s too soon to be hurt again.

  30. You might want to try r/homebrewing this sub is for the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball team.

    With that said, I haven’t used a Pinter before but I have made my fair share of cider, if it’s done fermenting and it’s been carbonated, the fridge conditioning stage is to get it cool enough to enjoy and drink.
