Not sure about the "Turbo" bit, but those yeasts produce the cleanest wash from which to distil - if you skimp and try distilling regular ale or beer ... it's pretty rank. You dont distil ale or beer, you ferment cane sugar with beer yeast and that works fine with a reflux still. Mate of mine uses bread yeast and tomato paste. Much slower than the turbo yeasts or beer yeast but it does produce a decent result with a reflux still. There's a lively underground home distilling community in the UK. Enough to support a few online and high street shops. As a very early adopter I'm aware that the powers that be were completely blindsided by the overnight appearance of a hobbiest market, and by the time they'd realised it was "a thing" it was too late and Streisland applied. If it's any consolation, I do use British sugar |

Just found out yesterday that the reason its pretty good is that it gets rid of the fat and oil on the hands which is a harbour for what you want to avoid remaining on your hands.

Just mentioning smoking in passing might stick in smokers' minds when they're already in an anxious state, far more than any amount of lecturing. If as claimed these viruses hang around for days rather than hours then this implies that this thing can't be as infectious as was claimed. So its not as infectious as was claimed - because as I said earlier more people would be catching it, and quite possibly the people who are dying are either old, have an existing condition, or are smokers. There's one figure suggesting 60% of Chinese doctors smoke. michael adams .... |

Yes but if a large proportion of deaths are of smokers Its far from clear that that is true. Havent seen any stats on that. then the consequences of catching it aren't so dire True. and so people won't panic. They already have. Just mentioning smoking in passing might stick in smokers' minds when they're already in an anxious state, far more than any amount of lecturing. But it remains to be seen if that works. One of ours who is an ex one of yours has just done that yesterday. Its not too clear what percentage of my country even watch something like this, let alone how many smokers will get off their arses and quit now that he has said that. And its far from clear whether quitting now will help any anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mvm_SUjQorw If as claimed these viruses hang around for days rather than hours then this implies that this thing can't be as infectious as was claimed. otoh that pom that was at a conference in singapore and then infect quite a few once he ended up in france after that and our GP that got infected indicates that it it is very infectious. So its not as infectious as was claimed We'll see... - because as I said earlier more people would be catching it, They clearly have in Italy and Iran and South Korea. and quite possibly the people who are dying are either old, have an existing condition, or are smokers. That remains to be seen too. It isnt even clear if that is the case with the ones from the Diamond Princess who died either. I havent seen any stats with those deaths yet. There's one figure suggesting 60% of Chinese doctors smoke. But only one of theirs has died. |

It is moderately poisonous, and therefore best not used as a skin preparation, especially not frequently or on children. Also it will dye your hands purple. Well, if you are using bought meths. Although why anyone non-dodgy would want to make methanol I don't know. Unless they are a very niche hobbiest. The antidote for methanol poisoning is ethanol. Which always amused me slightly, since if you had ethanol you wouldn't be drinking methanol Aren't some US cars run on (m)ethanol ? Very dangerous as the flame can't be seen ... A lot of the motor fuel in the USA is 10% ethanol. I've heard that the fuel is effectively diluted to 90% (i.e., "watered down" with something combustible but not greated for the purpose); some claim it's used because of subsidies to certain kinds of farming. If there are fuel flames outside the engine, you're in trouble whether you can see them or not. ;-) |

Yes, but if you use it a lot, it can leave your hands very dry, Thats why the gel is added, to fix that problem. |

It is moderately poisonous, Only if you drink it. and therefore best not used as a skin preparation, That's bull****. especially not frequently Not because its moderately poisonous, because you end up with very dry skin. or on children. Also it will dye your hands purple. Ours doesn't. |

Which always amused me slightly, since if you had ethanol you wouldn't be drinking methanol Aren't some US cars run on (m)ethanol ? Very dangerous as the flame can't be seen ... Only race cars. Like nitromethane or nitrous oxide it carries its own oxygen so its a good way to throw power into an engine that is limited by its breathing. Once you start supercharging though its not really much of a gain and its bloody dangerous for the reasons you stated But it still gives a bit of a boost tho and makes arriving at a correct mixture richness easier so its still in use in e.g. top fuel dragsters Just not pure alcohol - generally blended with nitromethane and gasoline US racing mandates it BECAUSE it produces no smoke. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_fuel#Racing and its easier to put out once you know its alight. The problem is knowing -- You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone. Al Capone |
