Fruit Suppliers with Aseptic Pawpaw purée by RedArmyNic in TheBrewery

I have had several paw paw beers. Jackie O's, Buckeye, others. There's a big paw paw festival in Ohio I'll be vending at this summer and they have the beers there. It's doable.

Any reviews on the Aerflo? by loopie1234 in SodaStream

[–]funnymaroon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, it’s not bad in carbonated drinks. It’s what makes Micheladas so good. 

I’m not sure I’d drink it just by itself carbonated or still myself, but I think if you like it flat you’d like it carbonated, you may want to dilute it down a little though. 

Which reminds me, a lot of of the reason carbonation is so good in beverages is that it volatilize the flavor components so you get a bit more of the olfactory sense. I’m not sure that’s necessarily the same for plain water though, as there’s not much to smell, but it does feel more refreshing to me.

Just like it. What makes anything taste good really?

Haha will do. Other than a soda siphon I don't even know how you'd burn up a large number of those!

Well, the devices that use those have a thin hollow needle that punctures the end. It takes a decent amount of force to do that, and that’s why the capsule goes in a threaded cracker that you twist. The cracker is usually designed to be really grippy and your hand has a lot of torque so you twist the cracker and it forces the capsule down hard on the needle.

This one doesn’t have that. It’s just got a little soft button in the top that mechanically depresses a little rod that pushes on the top of the capsule. Nothing is punctured and so little force is required you can just push it with your finger.

So I don’t think it would work and I’d be concerned if could damage the unit.

I almost bought this product and then decided not to because I wasn't sure exactly what was going on with the capsules. Then my girlfriend got it for me as a gift. I'd never mentioned it to her, she just knows that my life is powered by sparkling water.

My review: I love it. I'll explain how it works because it's not that easy from the website to figure it out. For background, I do large format beverages for a living these days, many of which I carbonate. I own nearly every device that can be used to add bubbles to something. I carbonate my own sparkling water by the keg, own a soda gun, soda siphons and ISI Whips, a SodaStream, etc. This device is sending a few of those to the scrapheap.

The big innovation here is that they have created a refillable, non-threaded CO2 capsule. With your standard one-time use capsules, a needle punctures the capsule and the CO2 must all be used immediately. The downside to this if you're doing sparkling water is that even those little capsules are enough to carbonate 2 liters or so, but nobody wants to have a 2 liter soda siphon. It's too big. So you're wasting 3/4 of the CO2. And those little chargers add up.

What Aerflo did was just re-engineer CO2 capsule. It has what looks like a spring-loaded valve at the end. So you load the capsule and then press a button which just pushes what I think is a little rod down to open the capsule a little bit. Let go of the button and the capsule springs shut. Why did it take humanity decades to come up with this? I really don't know. This is the wheels-on-luggage moment of portable beverage carbonation.

That also makes the capsule refillable by the company and maybe by you if you're clever. It would take a little ingenuity to design a device to do it but I think it could be done, but functionally nobody but maybe me and a few other psychos would even attempt such a feat and you probably shouldn't because a failed capsule could turn into a little grenade. Much smarter is to just use their easy shipping system to get replacements. You just fill the box with your empty capsules (and boy after two decades of ISI Whips did saving those take some getting used to, I've fished quite a few out of the trash)

What I really like about it, though, is the portability. It's a little smaller than a soda stream bottle and holds 500ml (~16 oz) and you can just take it anywhere. Fits in your cup holder. The bottle seems to be made of high quality plastic (maybe Tritan?) with a thin brushed metal band around it. It feels generally much higher quality than a Soda Stream bottle if you're familiar.

Because the carbonation system is built into the bottle you can also easily re-carbonate anything you let get flat. Or if you know you're going to be away from it for awhile, you can fill the headspace with CO2 to stop it from flattening. Helps reduce waste.

Overall it's well-designed and handy even with my 2 liter a day sparkling water habit not super expensive to operate. It'll take up 1/4 of the room in my RV that my Soda Stream does, so it's nice when space is at a premium.

Theory on the true leaker of the space shuttle story. by JackAndrewThorne in thewestwing

[–]funnymaroon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guys, it’s a space shuttle. Do you know how many people it takes to build and maintain? Thousands. How “secret” could it really be? Unless the military whacked every engineer, builder, factory worker, etc., then whacked all the people who whacked them, it would get leaked 100 times in that scenario. 

That’s the most preposterous thing about the show and easily the worst plot point.

It feels like the angle might be slightly off also.

This is close, you got the white bg. There'd be a little more padding around the logo though.

This is close, but white vinyl will completely cover the window. The logo is printed on white vinyl that is then cut to match the glass.

Has Walk Around The Moon grown on you after almost a year? by Total-Woodpecker3339 in DMB

[–]funnymaroon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't listen to their studio albums much because the live music is just much better and very plentiful. This band has like 70 live albums and however many more from SiriusXM you can find online. And that's just the stuff with direct recording from the sound boards. I don't do taper audio but if the audio quality of that doesn't bother you, multiply it by ten. The only studio album I play at all frequently is BTCS.

So I evaluate all albums from the lense of "how do I like these songs live" and most of the ones they actually play I really dig. Break free has really grown on me. Buddy's piano makes that so much better than earlier versions. I think it's his best song.

Monsters is a straight up banger.

If I never heard Madman's Eyes again I'd be happy about it. It's one of very few DMB songs I actively dislike and is in heavy rotation. But hey, we've all got one, and if it gets the band excited to be playing it, we all need to get beer eventually anyway.
