Not a real big issue, but sometimes (not all the time) when my Ubuntu OS (24.04.3 LTS) puts my desktop to sleep (automatically after 2 hours idle) when I go to wake it up it’s as if I’ve rebooted. All my applications are closed, I have to login etc, but it doesn’t really do a full boot sequence with the option to enter BIOS etc.
Like I said, not a big deal as I’m not (usually) dumb enough to leave unsaved work sitting around, but it is kind of annoying.
ha, I wasn’t concerned about ecological costs of the foil, though I bet you could just put an old shirt over it and have a reusable solution.
Wait, they didn’t all want to impeach her after like the first week?
That’s a lot of foil
Pretty sure last.fm has been around a lot longer than spotify
Pine can be pretty intense (if it actually was a pine tree). Spruce can also get pretty resiny if you’re using mature branches, this is why most people use the new growth tips. I’ve yet to try Noble Fir, which is what we typically get for our Christmas tree, maybe one of these years.
LOL it didn’t even register in my brain that birch beer and sarsaparilla might not be fermented alcoholic beverages
There’s a good article about brewing with birch on the Brewing Nordic website
LOL, those all sound extremely unappetizing

I’ve done it with blue spruce and doug fir as well, but I prefer the flavor of the cypress.
Well since people have been eating it for millennia in juniper, and juniper is GRAS, I’m going to conclude that it’s not a concern, you can conclude otherwise if you want. I won’t ask you to drink the beer.
Did you know that hops are toxic to dogs? are you sure you still want to put them into your beer?
Yes, I’m aware that they are completely different species. If you read the sources that Stickyfingeritchybum (ew, btw) posted they’re talking about the toxicity of Isocupressic acid in cattle and sheep, this acid occurs in both Leyland Cypress and all parts of Ponderosa Pine. Therefore since natives ate Ponderosa Pine as a staple food (apparently the inner bark is sweet and was considered a dessert) we can conclude that Isocupressic acid is not toxic to humans. This acid is also quite high in common juniper which is what is used to brew Maltøl and Sahti and is the primary botanical in Gin. Additionally, the only reported toxic effect of this acid on cattle and sheep is inducing abortion; Pregnant people aren’t advised to be drinking alcoholic beverages to begin with so kind of a double moot point.
I appreciate people being concerned for my health, but seriously, I have actually researched this beyond just googling and finding an article that ONLY talks about this being toxic to cattle and sheep and makes no mention of human toxicity. I’ve been brewing and drinking beers with this tree for nearly 10 years with no ill effects. Farmhouse Maltøl and Sahti brewers have been putting Isocupressic acid (via juniper) into their beers for thousands of years.
I knew some armchair researcher was going to post this crap. Toxic to ruminants does not equal toxic to humans. All parts of the Poderosa pine from the needles to the inner bark were/are a staple food of native Americans. Isocupressic acid is not toxic to humans.
if you really want to boost the mouthfeel swap the oats and corn for rye
I’ve used a crescent wrench to wedge under the lip and then push down on the ball to release pressure (do this outside and with the keg on it’s side unless you like getting sprayed in the face with nasty old stale beer). To remove the spear there is a retaining clip you can try to pry out with a flat screwdriver and a needle nose pliers.
LG is actually pretty highly regarded for their clothes washers and dryers.
why is this thing not called Steam Engine?
the boiling points are different, but if you’ve ever run a still you understand that it’s a spectrum of compounds that come through the still, it’s not like the still just runs at 65C and only spits out methanol until all the methanol is gone and then moves on (even with fractioning, but that certainly can help).
Your best defense is to ferment your wash properly so you’re not producing a ton of methanol to begin with.
I don’t really care about the environmental impact of aluminum foil, but maybe don’t leave your carboys sitting in the sun?
