Fair point. IIRC though the primary reason for banning plastic straws was not CO2 emissions but wildlife protection, as plastic straws are (or were) the single most frequently found foreign object in the stomachs of dead sea turtles.
The overall liquid amount is like 9 - 10 ml, of which ~1.5 ml is whisky. That’s still not little, but it’s more like 6 % abv, so far from the 15 you calculated.
But I agree that even that is probably a tad much. On the other hand, if I want to use it in a co-fermentation or even staggered pitch, it has to be able to take a punch.
So long, I find that it's doable since it can be broken down into chunks and I can fit most of those into my everyday life a lot easier than, say, a full 5 - 8 hour brew day. :)
Thanks for the hint! I don’t see myself having time for an entire book anytime soon, but I’ll certainly put it on my list.
The oak litter idea stems from more recent studies where IIRC they found that brettanomyce is rarely found on the skins of fruit, only in vineyards where they dump their pomace (?) below the actual tendrils, but in forest floors and most particularly in oak litter.
If you’re interested, I posted a link to a video by suigeneris brewing where Bryan explains just the above somewhere here in the thread.
Depending on the brand, ready made beer can be pretty high on hops, inhibiting some desirable microorganism growth, and pretty low on easily accessible sugars. I think it can still work, but the success rate will probably be low.
Here, I provide a medium rich in sugars, low on hops, with some acetic acid and alcohol - all selecting against the majority of stuff that I don’t want.
I’m not the expert here, but from what I gather the yeast flakes provide amino acids and such. Yeast nutrient would have been better but that I also did not have on hand. And yes, it’s Hefeflocken, exactly.
The oil on top is there too inhibit mold. Yes, for multiplying, yeast needs oxygen, but there will be some dissolved already I guess. After all though, this is more of a selection than multiplication step.
I'll probably do that as well at some point. In my research though, I've come across the suspicion that hops would hinder the growth of Brettanomyces, so I deliberately left them out here. For whom it may concern, here is one of my sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2nhUM5PIrg
Just because something happens on its own in nature doesn’t mean it’s a good thing per se - for instance, I prefer the warmth of my heated house over the "natural" cold temperatures of the winter months. That’s the famous "appeal to nature" fallacy right there.
Also, like others already pointed out, hunting deer is only necessary because we eradicated most of their natural predators. Making the case for hunting today in order to fix a problem hunting created in the past feels oddly circular to me.
Kinda sad that mistal is not quite up there with the other big players though. Even though I tend to try it first if I have the need for something an LLM can do.
Not if you take into account the exponential nature of wealth accumulation. Hence if plotted on a logarithmic scale, I’m quite confident me & Elon would be about equally far away from $ 1 million net worth.

I’ve got no data to prove or disprove this gut feeling of mine, but aren’t most separatist movements motivated like this?
Fractal shorelines. Always a pleasure to behold.
Now I think of the Roman Empire again, damm

It should be palatable at least - and I don't want to die. I understand that the latter bar is the easier one to take, but not granted.
Sounds nice! Why not keep us in the loop and post updates here :)
