Anger is temporary madness.

I have been pulling random quotes from random pages. Although someone pointed out that one was incorrectly quoted, but the concept stood; lol.
The things we worry about are normally the things that least matter; even though we build it up in our head. I have always been a rip-the-bandaid-off-quickly kind of person. Just get it done and over with asap.
Great story thanks for sharing. It is amazing how the little changes can have the biggest effects on us and our wellbeing.
Hate it when the internet lies to me! Thanks for catching that; my mistake!
BTW love the Enchirideon. Read so many times my copy looks like a used napkin at this point.
I do NOT wash the fruits of choice. I crush them, and let the wild yeasts on the skins/outsides do the magic for me. I WILL however, adjust the sugar content and acid levels BEFORE fermentation to how I want it designed, then, let it ride! It usually starts 2 days after, and not 24 hours. Oh, and I also maintain everything spotlessly clean during the entire process to make sure that just the wild yeasts are jumping in there vs. some random stuff.... Have also experimented with open-top fermentation and wild yeasts where you leave the lid off.
I love wild yeasts and use them all the time. However, I do not brew. I am more of a wine/mead person... My knowledge of brewing with wild strains is limited and cannot comment.
Love the quote. I must say that I at first questioned the availability of the cucumber in ancient Rome; so I looked it up. Found this interesting read on the history of such a random food item, LOL had to share. Not sorry:
