But again, that's not an EV thing, it's a "weird car market of the last few years" thing, and by thinking of 4-year cars as your norm you are running into the weirdest cohort of the lot, the 70-plates that were ordered before Covid and then sat on a drive during lockdowns and WFH. It's nuts how...

You introduced the word "behave" - and it was the "most" I was really objecting to, cherry-picking the odd rare example that forms a fruiting body is not the same. Also this aggregation behaviour is typical of slime moulds - which are not fungi (or at least most if not all of them are not...

When you say "when they start to go" - are you talking about end of life? If so, what exactly is the problem you are looking to solve? The average British car has a life expectancy of 17.9 years and will have done 138,000 miles when scrapped. This chart is based on real-world data from Tesla...

My record is nearly 5 years : https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/how-long-can-you-leave-liquid-yeast-after-the-best-before-date.697114/ Be gentle with it - small steps, and do the first one in 5% DME (1.020-ish) then 10% (1.040-ish) thereafter, pop a hop pellet in to discourage nasties in the...

<sharp intake of breath> No. Well not really, it's a bit like saying that birds sometime behave like fish because of penguins and flying fish. [speaking as a one-time microbiologist] But Bacillus cereus is a fun example of how you can "up-rate" a modestly pathogenic bacteria by giving it...

Motueka can be a good shout for a saison as well as NZ pilsner. Archer is one of those meh hops IMO, it's fine as a supporting part of the blend but don't expect it to play a starring role.

That's already happened, with the introduction of sodium-ion batteries. Although that is already happening in niche cases like some Chinese taxis, it's not going to be the norm. Partly because the move is towards making the battery pack an integral part of the chassis to reduce weight, partly...

ISTR this came up in the context of the GBBF homebrew comp where they had a minister on camera swigging homebrew at Olympia, technically breaking the rules. One big difference is that people generally pay to enter homebrew competitions, they're not being paid for alcohol. But ultimately with...

That's not an "EVs are expensive" thing though, that's a "anything is more expensive than an old diesel Focus" thing. Just skimming the AA, there's a 70-plate base-model Tesla 3 with 19k miles on the clock for £22k, PCP £396pm, 0-60 in 5.3s, 238 mile real-world range when new. And there's a...

No doubt for beers hopped with Earnest and Keyworth's Early?

But we're not going to switch tomorrow, any more than we are going to switch to running cars on Irn Bru. And most people don't need a charging network - 90% of cars never do more than 200 miles in a day, and 70% of households have access to off-road parking where they could charge overnight...

+1 to all that. Don't forget doing mashed potatoes properly.... Thermapens are great. I don't find myself thinking "it takes a long time to settle down", but I guess you could get the One if that's an issue for you. Worth mentioning that they're like Inkbird, they always have deals on for...

Ooh, the search term you are looking for is quorum sensing.... Not got time now and it's a whole different subject - but yes it makes a difference, that can be measured empirically.

In general the spicy/woody compounds of traditional European hops tend to survive the boil - for instance humulene was mentioned, which has a boiling point of 106 °C. But it's not even about the flavours per se, it's just something about the character of the bittering which is different...

I think the question you have to answer is - what problem am I trying to solve? Malting barley is around 9-10% protein, so 1.5%+ nitrogen, you don't generally need nitrogen for the yeast to be happy. Maybe a teaspoon of dead yeast in the boil, and if you're being really picky a tiny amount of...

Welcome to the German heatwave of 2022 - this thread gives you an idea of what you're up against : https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/hop-shortage.103413/#post-1242819 A dubbel should be fairly forgiving, so I wouldn't worry too much in this case. The Belgians use a variety of their...

A long time to get started sounds more like a problem with the yeast than with the wort. Were you pitching straight out of the packet, was it a little bit old? A vitality starter would probably do you more good than adding nutrients. Also liquid yeast need aeration because they don't have the...

Roll on end of March 2113...

That shouldn't make too much difference I'm afraid, that would be my main worry about using a US-05-type yeast is that attenuation will be too high. The other thing I meant to say is that historically the Viennese would have used mostly Saaz and Slovenian hops - not that German hops are...
