    Heriot-Watt Brewing and Distilling course

    Ragus don't list brewing sugar on their website any more. Are they still even making it? Is anyone?

    Electric cars.

    Not a politics thread so I'll stick to the question of EVs. Musk is obviously very pro EVs and autonomous cars and has a ton of patents in the area so I could see him dismembering the DMV and other opposition to allow him to flex those. However I doubt he will last that long with Trump.

    I wonder if Musk’s new appointment will help advance EVs in the US? Likelihood is that if it does it’ll be for Teslas only. Or that he’ll be out the revolving door that Trump is installing in the Whitehouse before he can do anything.

    terpene extracts

    I think that it's more that the hop terpene products haven't been generally available in the UK. The Malt Miller did a one off purchase from a company in the US, but I haven't seen them available since. I've used most of the modern hop products that are available (Flex, Incognito, Spectrum)...

    Oh it definitely has something, like you though I'm not sure how confident I can be in it. I need to park on a steeper slope and find out.

    Electric cars.

    A few days in and it does feel very different to my old car where bluetooth, heated wing mirrors and parking sensors felt advanced when I got it over 10 years ago. This thing is rammed full of electronics. No issues with it being electric aside from the lack of engine noise giving me no clue of...

    California Common water profile

    Looks fine to me, go with what you’ve got there. Although personally for a Cali Common I’d have a bit more of everything - more calcium, sulphate and chloride.

    Pitching dried yeast into cold wort

    The yeast might stay dormant when too cold, but should start fermenting when it warms up. The only real danger here is that the longer you leave the wort without getting your yeast going the danger of a wild yeast or bacterial infection taking hold increases.

    Electric cars.

    Although when I was counting them a couple of weeks ago I realised that not all EVs have the green stripe on them as the green stripe number plates were only introduced in 2020. No idea what the point of them was/is though. Probably cost a fortune to implement for zero gain.

    Eh? The absolutely worst efficiency EVs will do 3 miles per kWh. So 100 miles = 33.3kWh Even charging at £1 per kWh the total is £33 - it’s nowhere near £50 per 100 miles. A good EV should do 4 miles/kWh, and a service station charger is about £0.79/kWh, so £19.75 per 100 miles.

    Cip corny washer

    Normally the approach is to turn the keg upside down and spray cleaner up into it, letting the cleaner run back down and out the lid into the pump reservoir. This way only need 5 litres ish of cleaner. If you wanted to go the other way I guess you could connect the pump ‘out’ to the gas in side...

    Taxi

    I think once you have full self driving cars the need to own a car becomes much less of a necessity in towns and cities. Instead you just hail a car and it'll come to you. At some point a city will mandate all vehicles will be self driving, and that's when things will get really interesting.

    They go to a base.

    A friend of mine is very anti EV. He says that they're too expensive, too heavy, too complicated and need 'special tyres'. He was telling me all this while we were driving along in his BMW X3 Plugin Hybrid that weighs 2 tons, I'm pretty sure has eye wateringly expensive run flat tyres and he can...

    Taxi

    Honestly I thought we'd be further along with this stuff by now. If all cars were driverless then everything would work better and traffic accidents would plummet. People in cities and towns could hail a car on demand rather than own a car, freeing roads from being clogged up with parked cars...

    Electric cars.

    Indeed I am not ideal for EV as my driving is not high mileage - about 5000-6000 miles per year, where a third of that can be longer journeys. Unfortunately my ICE car has had a few minor problems recently, and the root cause of them has been age, so time to get rid before it becomes a...

    Electric cars.

    Thanks, I'll take a look at that. Have been looking at Zapmap, but it tends to just recommend you to stop at a certain charge % rather than give you options along the way. Most of the time I'll only be charging up to 80% at home as we tend to only do 60 miles per week normally, and we'll charge...

    I will be picking up a 2021 64kWh Hyundai Kona this week. Already planning stops for the Christmas drive to family. Going to be interesting.
