@raphjd:

Fake sounds are an extreme turn off.    The worst though is the roaring in musclehead porn.

And 'punching' each other in the chest. WTF is all that about?  ;D

@flozen:

Yes, earwax apparently performs a moisturizing function, but I find it unappealing and am willing to risk my dear life to be gone with it.

Earwax also contains antimicrobials. They are there to protect the ear from infection.

Nobody should be putting anything in their ears that does not belong there.  ;D

@pols1337:

It's a very small site, only about a half dozen new torrents every day

That's not much of a problem for me, but what's its archive like? If it went down, did the archive go with it?

It's neither black nor Latino. It's Eastern European. ;D

@raphjd:

The "whataboutism logical fallacy" crowd uses it to shut down people who show the hypocrisy of the other side.

Once a Dem becomes Presdent, the WLF crowd will tuurn into the people they claim to hate.  The will become the "what abouut Trump" people to justify what their guy is doing.

Nobody can justify what Trump has done since taking office, except Trump himself.

Just when you think he cannot get any dumber, more self-serving, more racist or more vile, he all-too-easily proves he can.

@DonnyDuzDick:

Highly advise against plastic for any post fermentation actively producing CO2. But you know, here is where you really want to go and ask:

www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/

and subscribe to their mag (Zymurgy) while you are at it.

Thanks, but I avoid forums. They are too often full of people who've just started out yet happily dole out advice or pose as experts. I'd much rather google for answers to any problems I encounter in home brews.

From what I have read subsequently, CO2 is simply not an issue unless the caps don't fit properly or are not properly sealed. Plastic sparkling water or soda bottles are designed to cope with pressures far higher than carbonated beer in glass.

To avoid 'off' flavours caused by UV light you should not put your beer in clear bottles. Unfortunately clear was all I had. Though they all went in a dark cupboard where no light shines. I tested a 500ml bottle of my first brew. The flavour's still not there yet but the carbonation is fine.

If you've made a special beer that you want to age for a few years, plastic is no good. It offers a typical shelf-life of 6-9 months. Not a problem with any of my brews. They won't last that long before being consumed.

I'm now about to bottle my fourth ferment, a Turbo Cider based on 20 litres of apple juice, sugar amd yeast. I still bottle in plastic. Unless I wish to pay COVID-19 profiteers' prices for cap or flip-top glass bottles, I'll wait until they are in stock again and at a reasonable price.

Thank you. I thought it might be a warning about the torrent's integrity.

My torrent client says - 'this is not a proper torrent file'. However it seems to have loaded OK. Posted in 2019 from an original upload in 2013. Am I going to have problems? Should I ask if someone could do a new/fresh upload? What is that triangle? Search function is not working and I saw nothing in FAQs.

A quick update. I think first timer nerves got the better of me. The reused plastic bottles are all fiiled and in a cupboard undergoing conditioning. I keep having a peek, expecting explosions, but they all seem to be fine.  ;D

Where I live, the bars are closed and I am avoiding supermarkets, so I started home brewing. My first batch, 23 litres of Bavarian Wheat Beer, is ready for bottling. Does anyone know if empty sparkling water bottles (properly sanitised) will do? I have them in 500ml, 1 litre and 2 litre sizes. I assumed they'd be fine. Now, I'm not so sure.

@bearbearbear:

I have lost hard drives in the past and it is difficult to deal with but eventually it's like it never happened.  Maybe just look at it as a chance to start fresh and not worry about trying to re-download all the videos you downloaded in the past.  You probably won't miss most of them and can remember your favorites.

Oh I am coming to that conculsion. I doubt I'll PM a mod. I think I'll just move on.

Thanks for the help.  :love:
