  I started using James Hoffman’s tip of rinsing off a spoon, shaking the water off, and then stirring your beans before grinding them.

  Then I started taking a single bean and quick passing it under the faucet before tossing it in with the rest and shaking it around.

  Now I just have a small spray bottle I repurposed. All methods are equally simple and get the job done to keep grinds from sticking to my Encore’s hopper.

  Like others have said, it’s more subtle then slightest touch of humidity rather than actually getting anything wet.

  Just watched it and did a review in my other comment on this post. It’s not my type of movie, none of the Saws really are, but I thought it was alright and felt like a good addition to the Saw-iverse .

  Reporting back, just finished watching the movie.

  I’ll start by saying I like horror movies in general, but not really the torture stuff like Saw or The Collection and things like that, hence why I’ve seen Saw 1, 2, and maybe 5 and that’s it.

  I do enjoy the basic premise where he only goes after people that have it coming as far as movie victims go, and that he gives them a bit of a chance to survive, especially if they would just stop being assholes for a minute.

  This movie felt like what I remember if the early saw movies. I think watching the TS version may have helped a little, reducing the video quality to make it feel even more vintage, but it was fine for my viewing given my overall interest level.

  I could recognize the main cast of characters, but even if I didn’t, it fills you in on all you need to know, so it can definitely stand on its own.

  The traps did all seem pretty original ish. Since there’s nothing new plot wise here, it’s still you have X minutes to free yourself painfully or you die. As far as are these things you could make yourself from Home Depot parts, maybe one or 2 of them, but they’re still a bit out there, but better than I remember some stuff being in other movies.

  Overall, I think if you enjoy this type of movie you should give it a shot. If you don’t like them at all, it’s not going to win you over. It still made be feel queasy and uncomfortable in a not pleasant way. I feel the traps are still pretty unfair and sadistic and are more revengey than teachy, but that’s just me. But if you like the originals and fell off the series somewhere, you can watch this no problem.

  Maybe I’ll check this out. I’ve only seen 3 of them, but the back to basics formula makes it sound like it might be ok.

  I agree. I usually make 1 or 0.5 gallon wines, so if I ever had to toss anything, no biggie. If I was making big, complicated batches or something with expensive ingredients, I’m sure I’d worry more about it. But I think by that point if you were into that kind stuff, you’d have enough supplies to not have to worry about it anyway. Hydrometer is about as fancy as I get!

  What liquid to use in an airlock

  I use Starsan since I already have it ready from cleaning everything else, but have used water when I forgot to save some. I’ve never had anything go funky either way.

  If you’re worried about sanitizer losing effectiveness, you can change it out wherever you want, but it’s always going to be cleaner than water with no sanitizer. I just change it when I rack.

  Dish soap just seems like a way to end up drinking soapy booze.

  I feel this is one of those things that is the end of an era. The Price is Right with Bob Barker always reminds me of afternoons at my grandparents’ house, and I’m sure it does for a lot of people in my age bracket. He also seemed to be a genuinely nice person. It was always good to hear her was still alive and doing things, and it helped keep that little slice of childhood alive.
