The good thing is that they can fly with only one engine.

My IPAs and my pilsners finish at the same final gravity. IPAs do not universally have a lot of sugar. It's the same as any other beer of similar alcohol content/starting gravity. If I got rid of the hops, I'd just have a strong English ale.

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

Medaglia d'oro espresso in a 1 cup moka pot. I like it better than bustelo since it's 100% arabica.

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

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.

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.

[–] bees_knees@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

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

Yeah; why do I feel sad for this little thing? I wasn't expecting a dumb meme to make me feel something today.

Yeah like why did this make me feel so sad for him? I really wasn't expecting this dumb meme to make me feel something today.

I've given the name "hybrid IPAs" to IPAs that were sort of the pioneers of neipas. Think Heady Topper, Focal Banger, Julius, or Pliny the Elder. The Alchemist is my main inspiration. These beers are much more bitter than a NEIPA, are loaded up with sulfates, may or may not have oats/wheat (I'm choosing not to add any), and aggressively dry hopped. I love me a good NEIPA, but I have decided I want to brew a more west coast style NEIPA. This is my first iteration and was brewed with the leftover hops and Kveik I had on hand.

After a few days in the keg, this beer came out nicely but still isn't quite where I want it. I was a little under on my efficiency and ended up at 7.5% abv. I think it is a little too bitter for the fruity hops used. It needs something a little more dank to hold up to the bitterness. It could use to be a bit punchier as well as far as the hop bill is concerned. It's hoppy, but not quite the same hop saturation I am looking for. Over time I've come to believe that chlorides are overrated. Load up on sulfates in all IPAs if you ask me. The nose is mangos, pears, and orange, and the finish is like bitter tang in a good way. Even though it's bitter, it's remarkably easy to drink. This keg won't last long.

Next time, I will be using verdant ale yeast and a different mix of hops. Likely Simcoe, ctz, and Amarillo, maybe some citra. I also got some cryo Amarillo which should add some real kick to the dry hop.
