I have my homeserver rsync three Arch mirrors and three Arch ARM mirrors in rotation on three days every week. Thus I have full local repos for these. All my machines are configured to use this local repo. The reason I do this is precisely to be prepared for the inevitable ‘Internet is broken’ scenario.

Also Reticulum Network Stack! Much more ambitious than Meshtastic.

Often spelled as ‘jonglöörata’, so that a practicioner would be a ‘jonglööri’.

Ps., Finland is pretty big in contemporary circus circles :}

One more brewer here routinely making a lemon and ginger infused beer and no problems there. I typically have four large lemons sliced thin for 20 litres of wort. I infuse the lemons and ginger separately and add the infusion late in the boil. I always wash the lemons with hot water to get rid of anything they might spray them with.

Kefir might be different though (I don’t know anything about that process). But maybe making an infusion vs. chucking the peel in the fermentation might help.

Finland gets May Day fairs in cities - mostly cheap tinsel junk, masks and helium balloons for kids. Students in higher education are mandated to begin boozing morbidly around a week prior and carry on for at least a couple of weeks after. ‘Wabu ei lopu’ = May Day never ends. Communists put on parades. Families make mead and doughnuts. As a kid I thought it as the best festival of the year, I’d always get the noisiest party horn at the fair.

I did actually take a sample intending to send it for science, but a taste test settled what was wrong with the wort: it wasn’t sweet. And when doing the re-run brew, I pretty much solved the mystery. Having one litre less water in the kettle for the initial heating to strike temperature meant that my temperature meter wasn’t touching the water when I set it up like I usually do :o) Thus the water got too hot and I ended up mangling my enzymes.

Take #2 was cooked yesterday and is now happily bubbling away. For the next brew due in a month or so, I’ll put in an order for some more Lager Malty from you :)
