Has anyone here freeze distilled a bochet or braggot?

I’m gonna restart my mead obsession soon and want to make earthier meads and so I’ve looked into bochets and braggots. Thing is, I like higher ABV’s for earthy drinks because I drink them slowly and I’m worried the base ABV won’t be high enough.

Because of this, I want to distill them, specifically freeze distill because I don’t wanna do all that to perform traditional distilling. I am worried about the taste as I heard freeze distilling can concentrate some pour qualities but I’ve never done it before so I may be wrong

My questions on freeze distilling

How does it affect the taste?

What’s your favorite recipes that use it? Interested in rum and mead recipes

I really do despise people who frame car dependency as freedom

Imagine being the ruler of some city in Ancient Rome and explaining to all your subjects that instead of walking they’ll need to buy a horse, fuel the horse, keep the horse healthy, and deal with all the literal shit your horse and other horses create, along with the health effects caused by that shit, and saying it’s in the name of freedom. I think you’d be crucified.

You’re not free when you have to buy something just to get around

Is EE expected to be competitive this year?

I’m honestly getting worried about getting EE. It’s my first choice so that helps but I lowkey didn’t do too well this year

I’m the in academies, got B’s for both engineering classes and have a 3.5 at my home college with nothing below a B

It’s not bad but isn’t good, ik last year a lot of people got accepted but I’m worried a lot more people are gonna want to join this year and lower my chances

I mean my applications are already out so I might as well thug it out but still I’m worried

Edit: does anyone know if they’re adding my EE slots to meet demand?

I’m in the academies and don’t want to sign a lease til after ET@M but I am worried about what apartments I can get if I wait that long.

I’m just worried I won’t get my 1-3 choices and I’ll basically have signed a lease to learn something I don’t like.

Just about every city in the US could use some higher density buildings but people do hate modern developments. How can we cut down on getting developments approved an ensure things are beautiful?

How can governments make use of sortition without fully implementing it? I think sortition has merit on getting direct opinions but shouldn’t be done all the way.

Perhaps they could be called in instance of political deadlock. Like recently everyone agrees to release the files but the president has the power to ignore that sentiment. So perhaps if a large minority of votes in favor of releasing the files a political lottery can be held and they could make the decision for the nation.

Idk, I’m just spitballing

All they fucking do is expand highways. The interchange by my school somehow has the money to double itself but not the money to fix the foot deep potholes I have to deal with daily.

Genuinely when will they realize that there’s more to transportation than cars? Texas is the ugliest state in terms of cities because of them and Victorian chimney sweepers probably had better air than us.

I can’t imagine how my life would look like here if I was too poor or physically incapable of driving. I think I’d kill myself

Can you do transportation engineering? What does that look like? Is it just car transportation because I’d want to do rail transportation too

What about renewable energy engineering? What does that look like

Maybe a civil engineering with urban planning elements?

I want to learn about this but the ITDE department barely helps
