brewing beer is like repairing your own manual car. like yeah its useful i guess but these days i can just pay someone to do it for me and itll be much more reliable.

its also loving grwoing booze from yeast and sugar and if you'd rather pay someone to do that because it's "hard work" or "unreliable" then lmao go back to your depressing code monkey cube and artisanally craft some pure bespoke copy-pasted html5/css or whatever instead. gently caress

homebrewing is something that isn't really viable. the clear, sterile beers of today are the product of brewing en masse and the tastes of today follows them. so youll never get to the point of making "good" beer because "good" beer is made in a vat thats orders of magnitude larger, im thinkin 105 times larger.

well they did a sort of good thing. obviously sparkfun is going to re-donate the multimeters fluke gave them, because it would look really crass of them to sell them to recoup the money. so sparkfun is still out $20,000 for the meters that got destroyed, and the infringing meters get turned directly into e-waste, and fluke gets to write it off. end result: sparkfun loses $20,000, fluke gets a bunch of their products donated to various hackerspaces or schools or whatever, the planet suffers yet more electronic garbage. isn't it sneaky how these companies work?

all you beerchat haters are about to get real fukken bored. brewed a batch today, went p well. it's a honey weizen, which is a hefeweizen with honey in it. apparently the honey will completely ferment, so there won't be any honey taste, it just makes the beer drier or some poo poo idk. gravity was 1.054, so it's gonna have a decent ABV. unlike my last batch, which was only about 4.1% ABV.
