Something We All Can Agree On

[John53]

For what?

Attempting to be human

 

[Secret Chief]

Attempting to be human

Ah. That's where I've been going wrong. Thanks for the tip.

Can we all agree that 4am is way too early?

Great time in summer to watch the dawn

 

[Exaltist Ethan]

I think all of us would agree with this quote by Winston Churchill.

 

[John53]

Great time in summer to watch the dawn

Bah

 

[ChristineM]

Bah

 

[John53]

A beautiful morning to walk the dog along the river. Agreed?

 

[Secret Chief]

Bah

If I was going to watch it I'd watch it at about 10.

Apart from not having a dog or living there?

I have a dog and I live about 10 minutes walk from where I took that photo about 30 minutes ago to annoy my wife who is currently freezing her butt off in Las Vegas.

Edit to add: Although @Subduction Zone probably calls it a water or a liquid instead of a river.

Hmm, the essential ingredients of beer are water, barley, hops and yeast.

...Award-winning German beer and gorgeous.

Those are the ingredients that go into it, but they are not the final ingredients. Magic happens via chemistry.

So you duck down to the pub for a quick chemistry?

 

[Subduction Zone]

They're not French

Shhh!! It is bad enough with the Germans, French, Brits, Yanks, Ozzies, and Canucks fighting it out. Let's not bring Belgium into the argument.

Not any longer. My fingers react to the secret ingredient. <sigh>. Probably healthier.

Hard to say. A river implies water flowing in one direction. Is there any flowing going on there?

 

[England my lionheart]

There must be something?

Oxygen and it’s free ATM.

Bah, im surprised all the water stays in place being upsidedown

It's an advanced river, it flows both directions depending on the tide.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Then I would call it an estuary. It had the looks of one but one cannot come to such a conclusion by a picture alone.

It does, I used to brew it myself (from the raw ingredients, not with kits that utilise malt extract - yuk). The % of alcohol is determined by (amongst other things) the type of yeast. The fermentation of some yeasts create the sugars but with little alcohol. Another method used is "arrested fermentation." It's just been "traditional" to use yeasts that produce higher percentages of alcohol. I think wine can only be de-alcoholised, but this is not the case with beer.
