Flaked barley is for a bit of grain flavor, but mostly head retention. I added it because that's what the recipe I used said to use... Not exactly a good reason, but it's also pretty common in Irish Stouts.
I added some carbonation and your moka pot coffee trick, and that combination did the trick in my book. It's much more interesting now.
Thanks for the tip!

Haha, my niece, who just started learning guitar, told me I have too many guitars. I said, no, I don't, you just don't understand. Yet.
Be careful, brewing is just as much about collecting gear as it is making tasty beverages.
Welcome!
Sure!
First time using this recipe:
5 lb 2-row 2 lb flaked barley 1 lb black barley 3 oz Peat Smoked barley
2 oz Kent Golding
You can taste maltiness and just a touch of what I think is from the smoked barley, but mouthfeel is lacking, as is that "roast" flavor.
Probably could have bumped up the black barley?
Keep a Bullet Journal or similar. (I actually use tasks in Outlook this way.)
Break big projects into chunks, get chunks done, even small ones. Checking off boxes gives a good sense of accomplishment.
Schedule breaks, like with a Pomodoro timer. 20 minutes of work, take a 5 minute break. Repeat. After a bunch of work cycles, take a longer break.
By this metric, mine was a 16 KB memory expansion module for the TS-1000.
I still have it!
Who will think of the landlords?
I don't need a reason to not be bothered at my home, other than being at my home.
I have a side window and just glare at them and shake my head "no" disappointingly. I don't give them the satisfaction of opening the door.
The ring doorbell sounds neat, but I think it's easier to ignore then a human.
I would also follow up with a 1 star review of their company if they behaved that way at my house. And probably shame them on our neighborhood social media pages. With video from my ring doorbell. (I don't have one, but you do.)
Teach a child to fish, basically.
If we keep making it easy for them... Ask and I'll give you all the answers... They'll never learn.
My first response these days is, "What have you tried so far?" And, "What are you searching for in 'Google'?"
I was just thinking that I've mowed the lawn shockingly few times so far this year, between the heat and lack of rain.
Usually June and July are twice a week or more to keep up. This year, there were weeks I didn't mow at all.
I know it's anecdata, but it's a meaningful metric to me...
