Yeah, because it's already available.ou know you can buy hydrogen and oxygen at your LGS (local gas shop).
What if it weren't?

Lord knows what my OP was and how it relates to now. I'm not interested/curious to go back and find out.well i know sodium metal produces hydrogen when added to water? so i'd figure out a way to free up nacl....i'm not entirely sure how to do that...
Shifting the thread to Drunken Ramblings likely obliterated any connection to original intent.Lord knows what my OP was and how it relates to now.
that was just too appropriate and funny!Shifting the thread to Drunken Ramblings likely obliterated any connection to original intent.
That made me think of the amazing machine work that was done to create steam locomotives.I totally forgot about that technology.
Can you imagine the spot we would be in now if we couldn't machine parts to the level we do? We would be fracked.
If it weren't already hijacked that should complete it.That made me think of the amazing machine work that was done to create steam locomotives.
Go to the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, MI and check the work the did to make the connecting rod for the big Driver wheels of the steam locomotive they have there. First off, it's massive, but the work is so fine it's truly impressive.
And they did that about 100 years ago!
The truth is that modern machining is so good the old concept of "break-in" on modern engines is almost unwarranted.
Fact is, it is more of a period to uncover assembly errors than break-in.
Old cylinders weren't really round so you needed the rings to have a chance to fit themselves to the bore. Not so today.
An engineer at GM told us the engines are pretty much broken in during the first run at the factory.
This was back in 1977!
My take is that you desire to machine a part but there is nothing on hand to machine the part. There'd be a painstaking process no matter how intelligent the group attempting to do so is.An engineer at GM told us the engines are pretty much broken in during the first run at the factory.
Correct! We make wort, we are like a air Bnb for yeast, supply a nice place to live, great food and their currency is the finished beer, keep them happy they give good tips we are yeast shepherdsNo one here makes beer....yeast does all the magic...
That was in the old days (like before homebrewing was legal, pre-1979 or so) when they would buy a can of malt extract and it had instuctions on it how NOT to make beer.This part of my OP is rather perplexing. When I did extract brewing, I don't recall needing any extra sugar.
Very true. I tried it once. Fermenting wort. Spent 3 days sat in an FV full or wort, blowing bubbles through an airlock. It's not as easy as it looks, I discovered. I won't be trying it again. Leave it to the yeast, I say.No one here makes beer....yeast does all the magic...
Pruned fingers for nothing right? I been thereVery true. I tried it once. Fermenting wort. Spent 3 days sat in an FV full or wort, blowing bubbles through an airlock. It's not as easy as it looks, I discovered. I won't be trying it again. Leave it to the yeast, I say.

for some reason, i'm always going to picture that when i think of you now.....not your spooky avatar!
It was the end of day 3, in my defence.no wonder you let the yeast do it, if that's as fast as you were blowing out the airlock, you're one hell of lazy beer maker!
Hey!! Eddie is our friend he’s not spookyfor some reason, i'm always going to picture that when i think of you now.....not your spooky avatar!
Anyway...all six beers were 100% extract...
Back then, style specific extract were popular. (Stout LME, Porter LME, ...) And brewers would blend them in recipes. "Bituminous Stout" is a recipe from circa 1992 that won award(s) and the hearts of many brewers.i didn't know they made that many extracts?

Apparently a 60/40 blend of Stout LME & Porter LME made a solid stout porter.
Recently, a new generation style specific extracts are available. Anecdotal reports are rare but tasty.
HomeBrewCon 2021 American Light Lager cateogry gold medal recipe used a blend of extract that included rice solids.even a rice one....i was surprised!

I thought that too but quickly realized the AG process is lots of fun ( not to everyone) and it is more rewarding for me at least, i think thats why we do it either that or we are just not that brightBegs to question why I never simply use store bought extract.
And dry yeast with a starter?HomeBrewCon 2021 American Light Lager cateogry gold medal recipe used a blend of extract that included rice solids.
34/70 and a "3L starter starter". Also a flavor enhancing addition of CaCl.And dry yeast with a starter?
