lvmerWell this group seems pretty awesome. Is it mostly Philadelphia area?18:31
jthanSadly.18:35
jthanAnd I only say that because I know for some in further areas where we are not, it is sometimes tough to attend events.18:35

pleia2lvmer: read the apache upgrade info, otherwise smooth sailing18:50
lvmerpleia2: gotcha, thanks :)18:55
pleia2the tl;dr version is that sites-available files need to end in .conf now and my modules got a bit mixed up (had some trouble with mod_rewrite)18:57

mutantturkeyany bread making experience here?19:24
jthanChinnoDog and I!19:25
jthanWe used to banter about our bread all the time.19:25
mutantturkeygreat19:26
mutantturkeyokay so i tried a batch with a good recipie19:26
mutantturkeybut i think the issue was the yeast19:26
mutantturkeylike, it didn't rise really19:27
jthanSo.. both of us mostly use a live sourdough starter and therefore don't really have to "activate" our yeast.. But, yes... If it didn't rise, probably a time or yeast issue.19:27
jthanDid you keep it warm?19:27
mutantturkeyhow?19:27
mutantturkeyhow the heck am i supposed to know what 110 degrees is?19:27
mutantturkeyre: i waited an hour, punched it down and waited again for an hour19:28
mutantturkeydidn't really grow at all19:28
mutantturkeythe result was delicious but very dense bread19:28
jthanMeh, sometimes the second rise isn't as significant.  Did it bake okay? was it really dense or what?19:28
jthanOoh.19:28
jthanYeah..19:28
mutantturkeythe first one didn't really risee19:28
jthanWell, did you keep a warm/moist tea towel over the bowl?19:28
mutantturkeyany tips?19:28
mutantturkeyno what's a tea towel?19:29
mutantturkey<< total noob19:29
jthanWell, just any towel really. Like.. a dish towel19:29
mutantturkeyyeah19:30
mutantturkeyi used only 1/4 oz packet19:30
jthanUsually I'd knead my stuff, flop it into the bowl or dish, and then cover it with a moist towel or two even19:30
jthanThis helps it hold some heat and moisture19:30
jthanHow much yeast did it call for?19:30
mutantturkeybut it didn't really rise at all, so i think debugging this bread issue it's probably the yeast19:30
teddy-dbearmatzo19:31
mutantturkey25g/1oz fresh yeast or 2 tsp eastblent (quick-rise) dry yeast19:32
mutantturkey2 1/4 tsp == 1/4 oz19:32
jthanIt could just be bad yeast19:33
mutantturkeyi just got it !19:34
mutantturkeymaybe it's bad... its best if used by 2016 though19:34
mutantturkeyi think it could be a temperature issue19:35
mutantturkeylike not hot enough to activate it19:35
jthanJust get a sourdough starter19:35
jthanThat's some good stuff19:35
jedijfmutantturkey: radiators in your house? my grandmother used to wrap and put the pizzelle dough on top of the radiator - philly rowhome proofbox19:37
mutantturkeyyes yes i do have thouse19:37
mutantturkeyjedijf: row home FTW19:37
mutantturkeyjthan: i am not crazy about sourdough19:37
jedijfradiator heat for the nose/breathing win19:37
jthanmutantturkey: if you don't leave it sit as long as recipes call for, it can be pretty mild19:38
mutantturkeyi'm trying a specific swiss recipie my mum makes though19:38
mutantturkeyso19:38
jedijf....ask mum19:39
mutantturkeyi did19:39
mutantturkeyshe says i'm a fool for trying19:39
mutantturkeyjthan: http://www.thefrugalgirl.com/2010/02/wednesday-baking-troubleshooting-yeast-bread/19:40
mutantturkeyi read on the internet that...19:40
mutantturkeymy dough is too stiff?19:40
mutantturkeyi mean it was pretty stiff i think, the directions says it should be pulling of the bowl when you kneed it19:40
jthanYeah, there should be some springiness to it19:40
jthanI think after you bake it, they mean19:41
mutantturkey'to a fairly firm dough whih does no tstick excessively to the hands or the bowl'19:43
ChinnoDogMeaning not so wet that it sticks to everything.20:15
ChinnoDogWet dough will not only stick to everything but if you try to create a freestanding loaf without a mold it will sag until it is flat.20:17
lazyPoweri love kneading dough20:58
lazyPowerits a great way to deal with frustration20:58
lazyPowerjust beat it until it submits20:58
