Yeah, right. People 500 years ago had motor oil, gasoline, plastics, etc. Get real.
Damn. I want two for beer. I have a couple but they're the cheap plastic jobbies and they distort the flavor.
They are only $30 at any brew shop and bubblers are $1.25
3kg of honey and 16L makes for some yummy mead. I use EC1118 or RC212 yeast from lalvin.
And they had wood.
Perhaps they should have left the forests alone from the start... and the oceans... and the wildlife.
New England was practically stripped of forests prior. Most all the forests in the White Mountains NH are new growth forests. I was shocked as heck to find that out on a trip there last summer.
True. And before that there was none and people still managed to survive and multiply.
I still don't get your poin. And I thought mine was pretty clear: people survived alright before we messed with crap like oil, wildlife pops, etc.
Yeah, you n I never were born. We don't exist along with the other 7 billion people on the planet because no-one survived eons ago.
Younger than now but that's irrelevant. I think I live ok now, but someone in the distant future may not think so.
And there weren't billions back then. It was an absolute struggle to survive in the best of times. All that crude and technology derived from it is why we are here in the billions.
Bada-bing
From the oil that made farming prosper like never before. We have easy food which gives us spare time to invent cool sh*t like penicillin.
What makes it irrelevant? With age comes knowledge. If people are dropping dead at 40 they aren't reaching their intellectual peak and able to share that knowledge.
The next to last episode of 'Moonshiners' has Tim's recipe on it. I guess the rye is how you control favor, other episodes give you the temps needed and other useful info such as shaking a jar and watching the bubbles to tell you how much is alcohol. The sealer they use is actually porridge but modern tooling an screw down clamps would fix that. The tincan candle holder if cool ud you walk around much as the design forused the light into a narrow beam and the flame remains in calm air when walking, LCD clipped to the brim of a ballcap is the modern replacement. Don't forget your 6 pot plants, even if you don't smoke they make a great currency at 'garage sales' and it should be legal in some instances.
I learned how from my dad who learned from his dad who learned from his dad who learned from his dad...
Corn mash has to be the grossest sh*t out there.
Your right about rye, it makes the best horlika hands down.

I like Bavarian pilsners. Ales don't sit well with me.
Mead I love. 3kg of honey, 16L of water and a pack of yeast and let it bubble for 2 months, then infuse fruit for various delightful flavours.
www.gotmead.com is the penultimate source of shared knowledge for mead lovers.
And creating such things as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and the visible part of the patch is 7 times the size of Alaska (the invisible part is 90% of the patch). And creating that as the available fresh water on the planet has dwindled down to 0.003%. And as we are losing the largest amount of living things to extinction since 65 million years ago. It came back right? But the rate of extinction back then was 5 species per year and today's rate is something like 5000 times that while the speciation (et al) rate is only about 1500 a year.
Yeah, we're just hummin along and everything's peachy keen.
