Your example of Newton demonstrates you have no understanding of evidence whatsoever. The apple was followed up by vast amounts of experimenral evidence. Faith stopped at the apple hitting the head. Experience is not evidence. Why is that so hard for you to understand? You have an opinion...

Another who fails to understand the fact science is not required to disprove a negative since we always start from a zero point hypothesis. Therefore, atheism is not a belief structure. It is an acceptance that there is no evidence of a God. Edit - Russell's teapot, the invisible pink unicorn...

There is zero evidence of a deity. Until you or anyone else provides evidence then the zero point hypothesis holds: there is no God. Your lack of understanding of what constitutes actual evidence is noted. Your experience or any person's experience of the existence of a deity is not evidence...

That's funny! You have zero idea what passes for evidence. Opinions, feelings are not evidence anymore than 'it's the vibe' is a valid legal defense.

Or more simply, confirmation bias. The conspiracy theorists nutters are at the pointy end of the spectrum but the same attribute belongs to religious people (and ironically, the anti-islam, anti-halal crowd), anti-vaxxers, anti-GMO, naturopaths, homeopaths and all alt-med peddlers. Evidence is...

For the first few years I didn't 'build a trellis', i planted the hops next to a fence and let the hops climb up the fence (1.8m chicken wire) and then ran strings across the yard to another fence. It did mean I had to wind the hops around the strings every few days but it allowed me a few years...

Anyone cooked lamb rosettes (aka neck chops) sous vide? My local Foodland often has them in the offal section next to shanks and pork hocks for a few $/kg. I generally use them in slow cooked stews but wondered if i could seal them up with some rosemary and garlic and sous vide them for a day or 2?

Fair enough. A breadmaker can't compete with that. You did mention cost in your statement which threw me as the cost is the same.

They'll survive those conditions once established. Mine are being tested at the moment with a lot of rain (for Adelaide that is). Perhaps it's better to get them established for a season or 2 in a pot before planting in the ground.

Still plenty of Chinook available. PMs sent.

Any light/medium crystal will be fine. Carabohemian is my personal favourite.

I have 2 kegs of RIS with oak staves in them as well

How is the price any different using a bread maker or an oven?

20L? *****!

No offence taken.

PhD student? I wish. They were the days. :chug: :party: I did my PhD 15 years ago (the acknowledgement section in my thesis included a line thanking Andrea @ the Unibar, the dispenser of many, many beers in my 9 years at uni).

Interestingly, my breadmachine instructions say to do the opposite for overnight/delay settings. Liquids first, flours and then yeast on top. I don't use this setting often as I prefer to check on the kneading cycle to see how it is going. When i do I create a little indent in the flour in the...

As pointed out, using copper metal in brewing does not involve 'adding copper' to your beer and as such, is technically legal. One of my colleagues is ex-Fosters and talked about a copper rod that was used just before the filter to strip sulfides (not sulphides Bribie, the IUPAC spelling is...

Are you referring to hydrogen sulfide when you say sulfur? Think boiled eggs or in high doses, rotten eggs? If so then copper sulfate can remove it. It's used quite a bit in the wine industry. You would normally buy the pentahydrate CuSO4.5H2O from wine supply shops. Add it at a rate of...

CuO, which is all but insoluble in water, is soluble in acidic solutions. It will form 'free' Cu++ ions, the oxide anion results in a water molecule. This is not a redox reaction, simply copper ions dissolving, no oxidation/reduction takes place. The Cu++ ions now become available to redox...
