I’m trying my first brew in a bag today and I realized the bag is very full. There is no room for the grains to move around inside the bag. I’m wondering if that’s going to be a problem.

Are the grains in the center going to release their sugars or do I need to get the ingredients mixing around a bit first

I am trying to do a brew in a bag for the first time. I ordered flaked barley for my recipe but what I got looks a lot like oats. Do flaked barley and flaked oats look similar or did I just get the wrong thing?

Hi all.

I am attempting my first kegged beer. I am not going to force carbonate. Instead I added priming sugar straight to the keg. I completely forgot to dissolve the sugar in water before hand.

Is there anything I can do now or should I just wait and see what happens

Hi all,

After watching a debate with Ben Shapiro, I’m trying to understand Alex O Connor’s position against free will.

My understanding is that he believes actions must either be random or determined. A random action is random and therefore wouldn’t come about by free will. A determined action must be determined by something. If that something is external to ourself than again this can’t be free will. If that something is internal to ourself than we can ask again, what determined that something. Eventually we find that the root of an action must either be random or external.

I am probably misunderstanding his position so maybe someone can clarify, but I’m confused why I can’t just say “my brain determined the action or choice I made”. Why does there need to be a deeper layer of something determining what made my brain make the decision?
