When I harvested this honey in spring I knew that I had to make a batch of #mead with it. I wanted to keep the flavors of this honey at the top of the mead, so it is a basic show mead recipe (water and honey) with small variations of open air fermentation (wild, random yeast) and some black tea to add nice tannins to the finish. The basic ratio is 1 quart of #honey + 1 gallon of water. I always ferment completely, so I avoid broken, sticky glassware in my storage area. I end up with alcohol content in the range of strong wine. I'm still stirring a lot to wake up the yeasts. I'll later post a follow up picture when the primary fermentation foam head on this bucket is thick and fluffy. I think that many people are unaware of how easy it is to make mead. The hard part is waiting at least a year (preferably three years) for the sugars to properly oxidize and the real flavor come out. #homesteading #homebrew #brewstr #bees

I realized my misstep in opsec, so I had to create a new nsec. Follow me now at @San Joaquin Victory Gardens I will do my best to reestablish my previous follows. Cheers!

Go outside and continue the conversation that you have with your neighbor. Especially if that conversation is intermittent then good terms with neighbors is preferable because they are part of your #victorygarden . A trade here and a trade there makes all happy. It's been orange (BTC) season in California and concurrent with lots of citrus harvesting. A bag of oranges or lemons can be traded with the neighbor who started a flock of Covid chickens. Another bag goes to another neighbor because they'll eat it and be happy. We all win because, honestly, sometimes there are too many lemons and oranges. Circle that economy, yo. Build relationships to create your own luck beyond serendipity. Harvest the tree before it begins the next fruiting cycle. Be timely. #permaculture #permies #homestead #realfood #strongtowns

real food is still affordable and cheap. true that prices are going up in fiat terms. but real, unprocessed food is still within everyone's grasp. learning to cook is your superpower. shout-out to my local grocery outlet store. $119 for all this as always, is about knowing where to look and a medium to long time preference #groceries #realfood #foodstr #foodsovereignty

I am using the primal app but cannot follow anyone back using the simple follow button. anyone have suggestions? I've tried reinstalling the primal app and rebooting my Android. do I need to nip5 in order to follow others? my relays have been set to system defaults I can't use nostr if I can't follow people. any suggestions #asknostr ?

this is my first post on Nostr of my own making. just a pleb joining the #plebchain . I'm looking for follows, so please say hi. a lot had come with my journey in the biosphere since that video was made in 2016. if you think I should post more content about bees, permaculture gardening attempts, or science, let me know!

#asknoster I'm seeking a tutorial on what to do when connecting a mutiny wallet. I think I did it, what happens next?
