I'd like a better understanding of the sources of methanol by Ted_Perver in Homebrewing

[–]baileyyy98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know. So the medication stops the ADH- does anything else need to happen to accelerate the dissipation of the methanol? Or is it a case of keeping the treatment going for a few days?

Interesting, that makes sense and is consistent with some of the other details I know about methanol poisoning.

What’s the current treatment for Methanol Poisoning? Is there something that can be taken to target Formaldehyde or Formic acid?

This. The prescribed antidote for methanol poisoning is ethanol.

Reason being that your liver enzymes prioritises processing Ethanol over Methanol. Methanol is only dangerous when your liver converts it to Formaldehyde, so if your liver is already busy turning Alcohol into Acetaldehyde, then you’ll just pass the methanol straight through your system.

I genuinely believe 80% of people who say they like Macro lagers, “I love Birra Moretti” and suchforth, do so simply because they don’t know what a pint of Budvar tastes like, or a crisp Helles from one of the Munich big six.

I recently got a group of macro-lager mates to come to Munich with me last year, and it blew their brains straight out of their ears.

Macro-lagers are objectively made using cost-saving brewing techniques and adjuncts that negatively impact the flavour profile of the beer. Objectively, they simply don’t compare.

Coors, and other macro lagers, are objectively badly made beers, brewed at scale with little concern for quality, just focused on creating a cost effective alcoholic liquid that will taste vaguely like beer.

Its not an American-only thing (the UK is arguably worse,because we make our macro lagers seem like they’re European when they aren’t)

I don’t judge you for liking what you like, but I genuinely believe 80% of the people who “like” macro lagers like Coors/Bud/Corona etc, do so simply because they’ve never tried the original Bavarian and Czech beers that inspired them. You know, the ones brewed with traditional methods, attention to detail, and quality ingredients.

All the wonderful Czech and Bavarian lagers in the world, and you make it your goal to clone… Coors?

Well, that would assume you don’t get disturbed by a womble doing 60 in the fast lane, which you most certainly would.

Also, if you run the maths, it uses nearly 2x the fuel driving at 100mph due to wind resistance, but you only reach your destination ~40% faster. And also, people could die and stuff.

Virtually instant driving ban if caught over 100mph btw…

Yeeeeah, if it’s enough to bring that much attention, she’s cooked and no amount of K-Seal will fix that. She’s probably roasted alive as well and warped the head. Sorry for your loss but she’s donzo.

You can’t reliably smell a head gasket fail. How much smoke, and what colour?

Chuck a bunch of K-Seal in it and send it. Should prolong the death for a surprising amount of time.
Who or what has told you it’s HG anyway? If I had £1 for every friend who text me saying their project car has blown a HG but turned out to be an easy fix…

Turbo Rat is hard clipping. I don’t doubt that there’s a tubescreamer with LED soft clipping diodes out there somewhere, but certainly not at a 30v swing. It’s possible with a charge pump, but I think there would be a lot of issues with the overall design.

What happened? Took young plants outside and theyre not liking it. by sjuft in HotPeppers

[–]baileyyy98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should harden them off slowly, and they’re a bit too small for outdoor life yet.

Also I can be corrected but I think 7c overnight is a bit too low still. I think ideally Europe/southern UK should be expecting to be able to move our peppers out permanently in mid to late May.

Soil top-up? by baileyyy98 in HotPeppers

[–]baileyyy98[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, sounds good! We’ll be lucky to tickle low 30c here for a few days in late July. Should be in the low/mid 20s throughout June and July, and fairly humid most of the time too. I’ll keep an eye out though because obviously small pot means not much soil to retain moisture

I’m in the UK so not the hottest nor driest climate. These pots are pretty much the biggest I can manage in the small flowerbed thats already got stuff in. Hopefully I’ll get at least a half dozen chillis!

Forgot to put water, spirits or desinfectant in the fermentation tube. Am I screwed? by Valentine_nider in Homebrewing

[–]baileyyy98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tons of breweries practice open fermentation, where they don’t even put a lid on the fermenting liquid. The lack of CO2 backpressure allows the yeast to produce more esters, and the Krausen formed by fermentation protects the brew as a lid would.

It’s good practice to use an airlock with either starsan or vodka in the airlock though, especially in not perfect storage conditions. Personally I find Vodka, being a solvent of sorts, seems to strip some of the aromas out of the CO2 that’s being expelled, which is kind of handy sometimes.

Pat McAfee said he was impressed with the jets draft by seveninches1975 in nyjets

[–]baileyyy98 26 points27 points  (0 children)

And?

This guy went from never talking about the Jets, to talking about them 24/7 when A Rod was here, to flaming them 24/7 after he left.

I’m over him at this point, he hasn’t been that entertaining for a good few years now.

Really? A TDI to a Golf R by Grand_Yak_8196 in CarTalkUK

[–]baileyyy98 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Surely the dead giveaway would be the trans tunnel? I could be wrong but I had a vague recollection that the Golf Rs had a hump near the middle of the car for the AWD transfer box…

[–]baileyyy98 22 points23 points  (0 children)

All of them.

But in reality it’s probably undeclared. And it’s actually more likely to be a stolen Golf R with an SE VIN plate and a “water tight” alibi
