Pete in Lincs Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I seem to remember that the Ram Air Turbine, once deployed, has to be manually retracted. But that is probably on a different Aircraft? Doom Bar and Onion gravy? I can say that cask ale, once the finings (made from bits of fish, to keep it clear*) have been added, lasts about six weeks. Once it goes out of date it does indeed look like a mix of the two. The smell, however, is not pleasant. The barrels are steam cleaned by the breweries. Olive oil should be consumed as soon as possible, and not used in dastardly scientific experiments at the speed of light. Nor should it be fed to Hedgehogs. * If the finings are not added you get cloudy beer, which is vegan friendly. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My digestive tract must be awesomely UN-VEGAN FRIENDLY considering its reaction to many of the pints of cloudy beer it has imbibed over the past nigh-on sixty years. *Isinglass I seem to recall alongside several other allegedly inoffensive substances... My stomach's owner (moi) refuses to go near any pints of cloudy beer for fear. Fear is the key, no doubt acos I fear the effects of cloudy immensely. So will we be getting 3D printed beer too then? My friend, him over there, asks that I should engage in the gentle badinage of this discussion. Me?

At least for the hobbyist doing FDM printing the main polymer PLA is derived from corn starch and, although normally done chemically, you could do the processing by a fermentation with e.coli so we're probably already 9/10ths of the way there.

Brandy Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 There are many cloudy beers, and most are very good. But for English style beers there is still no excuse for it! They can be made clear by adding finings to remove the yeast in suspense. I had to do it many times at the pub I worked at. We only sold "live" ale straight from the barrel which meant walking down into the cellar and turning the tap! There was no lager, and the only 3 pumps in the place were for Guiness, Beamish, and Murphy's. I do miss that pub! Ian 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Whilst we await a drinkable Sea Vixen it came to pass... I went to my 'almost fabled little local' last night and acting on the advice of two drinking buddies drank 'some of that!' I can't for the life of me remember its name which surely means a return for research this arvo, but well into pint two I realised it was (shock horror) cloudy too. Very pleasant pint(s) but difficult to recommend because it is extremely memory destructive Cloudy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
