Does this mean her produce isn't vegan?
You know you're replying to a New Zealand community right? T-Mobile isn't a thing here. The best we have is ~$20 a month in pre pay plans
A child's train does not need fancy shouldered corners. I absolutely love that you took the time and effort to use shouldered corners.
Feel free to post it, I agree it was a good resource for helping debunk the classic myth
What was so laughable about it? I've made some pretty good sugar wash (for vodka/gin) that turned out pretty good. I use sugar and add Weetbix as something to help the yeast (as an alternative to the popular tomato paste). If you're in America, I'd suggest using the lowest sugar wholegrain cereal you can find. Maybe special-K or all-bran if you have them?
I've heard that potatoes are more trouble than they're worth, as they're messy and you only end up with a 3-4% wash, so you need way more potatoes and time than you might think.
It is a grainfather! it's super useful to be able to dial in the power output through the app. I also use the grainfather for homebrew, so it's nice to share equipment between hobbies. I'm lucky enough to live in New Zealand, the only legal country in the world, so I have no issues having this visible to the neighbours. That being said, I feel like I'd have a go (more discreetly) if my situation was different. The hobby is extremely rewarding.
I usually make gin, so no barrel aging there. I have made a rum from a bucket of molasses I bought, that was aged. With the scale of home distilling is often a case of putting the oak in the spirit, rather than the spirit in oak. It's to do with the surface area to liquid ratios of small barrels being way too high compared to a commercial barrel.

And I stress the "learn this new Lemmy thing"... My image didn't attach for whatever reason.
New space!
Hello fellow distillers and potential ex-reddit users. This is the new space on Lemmy for all things distilling!
Hopefully we can grow the community and learn this new Lemmy thing together.
The space is looking pretty bare, but with some help, it'll be home in no time. Here's a pick of my setup to make it look less bare. It's a reflux still from AliExpress sitting on top of a grainfather. The needle valves that it came with are rubbish and need replacing, as I can't close the reflux condenser all the way anymore. Regardless of its flaws I still love it and it can produce some tasty (tasteless) vodka.
Haha yes the grain direction isn't matched. This was made from 1 sheet + spare ply I had lying around. If I had enough, I might have made the effort. The sheet cut app I was using said I used something like 95% of the material. It was a tight fit.

I built a stand for my (new to me) drill press! Everything is nice and square, and I'm really proud of the result. And then I put it on my not so flat garage floor... And the locking casters aren't all that effective anymore. It's also pretty wobbly. Any tips for placing movable tool stations on wonky floors? Smoothing the floor sounds like too much work!
I've just researched on YouTube and there is indeed a way to do it nicely. Now I suppose I need to either play chicken, or just order the extra wool. It's going to be really close

Would that leave a seam on the inside of the jumper? Or is there a way to avoid that?
Going to run out of yarn (help!)
I started a knitting a jumper an embarrassingly long time ago (over 2 years ago). I've picked it up again and it's looking like I haven't got enough yarn. It's Dooish worsted weight yarn: https://www.skeinsisters.com.au/spinning-yarns-weaving-tales-dooish
Its looking like I'm going to need to buy an additional skein years after the initial lot. I'm hoping for some advice for how to best join a new ball from a new batch number without a glaringly obvious line due to a slightly different colour. I'm knitting neck down on circular needles, and am halfway down the body. Would starting the arms in the new ball look fine?
Help a scared novice knitter out please!
I give it a few weeks until we're inundated with the usual politics, cost of living, housing, supermarket posts. It'll be like we never left Reddit.
