The pop top ones are great and I love them but it’s easy to mess something up and make them pretty dangerous.
If you have a hygrometer you can measure the sugar content of your brew which takes out the guess work, get one of them before glass bottling. Hygrometers are like $10 and well worth having.
Plum and cherry wine sounds divine. Good luck!

If the juice is concentrated, like molasses it’ll be fine. Hops might be ok if they’re vacuum sealed and freeze dried as they often are… they look like little pellets. If they’re just dried then get some more.
Just follow the instructions.
If you’re bottle conditioning, (adding a bit of sugar in the bottle to carbonate) I would recommend using plastic coke bottles. They’re pressure safe and don’t explode like glass does if you add too much sugar.

Same as if you let go of a kite. It’ll just tumble back down to Earth over some distance.

Have a look at the clock faces there using to Benchmark and it’ll make more sense.

Right at the end of the article.
They also closed their uk stores so their staff could attend the 2019 climate rally in the UK. They genuinely seem to be a good corporation.

Yes they are still paying staff.

Except it isn’t fake, and no evidence has been offered that it is.
Why is this fud being upvoted?

Reddit has kissed the ring.
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 6 months ago:
I had to use teams with multiple accounts with multiple organisations. Sometimes my account is added to their organisation, sometimes I used their provided account. Microsoft was going for a one sign in approach and the whole thing just totally failed to account for my situation. It never successfully let me switch accounts, running multiple concurrently certainly never worked.
With one situation the work around was to follow the original organisation invite again, reset my password then proceed with my meeting. I’d do this maybe ten times a day sometimes if I had to bounce between different companies.
And all controls are basic as fuck. It’s a business tool that thinks its target market is my grandma. All controls were apple-ified. I’d get a long error code and I couldn’t select it to copy and paste it, and if I clicked off the window the notification displaying the error code would go away, so i’d have to print screen the error code, paste out somewhere, and then type it out manually into Google to try and diagnose. This was a singer problem 30 years ago. Why are we going backwards?
Anyway, rant over. It’s a pos. Slack is light years ahead.

I remember this being announced to a big fan fare… And now it’s being quietly dropped. Shame on them. 1%? They didn’t even try.
