@@EQOAnostalgia The idea of the Nephilim and giants is a biblical concept that appears in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament. According to the Bible, the Nephilim were a race of giant beings who lived on Earth before the Flood. They are described as the offspring of the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men." The exact nature of the Nephilim and their relationship to other beings on Earth is a subject of debate and interpretation. In some religious traditions, the Nephilim are seen as supernatural beings with divine or supernatural origins, while in others, they are viewed as a race of mortals with exceptional strength and size. As for the existence of megalithic structures around the planet, it is true that there are many ancient ruins and monuments that demonstrate the architectural and engineering prowess of past civilizations. These structures include Stonehenge in England, the pyramids in Egypt, and the Mayan pyramids in Central America, among others. However, the idea that these structures were built by giants or supernatural beings is not supported by mainstream archaeology and anthropology. Instead, these structures are typically attributed to the ingenuity, skill, and determination of the human societies that built them, using the tools and technologies available to them at the time. In conclusion, the idea of the Nephilim and giants is a religious concept with roots in the Bible, and while it has inspired much speculation and debate, it is not supported by scientific evidence. The ancient megalithic structures around the planet are impressive achievements of human societies and demonstrate the ingenuity and creativity of our ancestors, but there is no evidence to suggest that they were built by giants or supernatural beings.

This is right up my alley. We usually buy a bottle of Jack Daniels Honey-Flavored Bourbon and a few Madagascar vanilla beans once a year and make our own vanilla. We split four of the vanilla beans length-wise, pop them into the bourbon bottle, seal it back up and put it into the basement for a year. Throughout the year, when we are in the basement food-store area we give it a shake. When we start a new one, we take last year's up to the kitchen and start using it. It makes a HUGE difference in your baked goods. People are always asking for the recipe but when you tell them it takes a year to make the vanilla, they sigh and reserve themselves to never be able to make good baked goods. Today my wife bought a cheap bottle of Sutter Home Merlot and we started our red-wine vinegar. I'm happy it only takes a few weeks to get the results.

I've been making red-wine and Traditional balsamic for 20 years and produced over 500 gallons over time. My Red-wine live vinegar does not produce a cellulose mat that people call mother. So my take is Mother is really only live Acetabactor and cellulose does not need to be present. On Traditional Balsamic. You first crush and press wine grape then heat to reduce and make a 40% sugar must. Ferment this into very sweet wine. Add this and redwine vingar to the first and biggest barrel in the battery. This process is repeated each year.

In France it used to be very common to have something called a "vinaigrier", a kind of pot made of stoneware, ceramic or clay, or a small barrel, with a small tap at the bottom, used by the common people to make their own vinegar at home. It is still fairly common in the countryside. Since people used too drink wine regularly, especially in the countryside, in farmhouses etc, and wine is so common in France, it is a people's drink (as well as a fancy drink, like in the US. There's always been all kinds of wine), people put their wine leftovers in it all year long and have a constant supply of their own vinegar. You can still buy them new or pre-owned, it's a nice item often made by artisans, and is still fairly common in certain traditional households. It's also popular in the autonomists movement (people that want to regain their individual and local autonomy or part of it and do not want to rely solely on consumerism). Since it is made by craftsman, it's also common place to see it as a decorative item by people who don't use it, and often got it from their ancestors. It's also easy to buy a mother from individuals on the web, especially, again, in the countryside, to put in your vinaigrier.

Safeway used to sell a non-shelf-stable mango habanero hot sauce that was way too sugary for my taste. I accidentally left it out and it began to ferment. So I opened it every day to release the co2 and when it got to tasting around 6 or 7%, I left it unsealed for a week or so. It turned into vinegar and I had a shelf-stable hot sauce with a pretty unique taste. I wish that sauce wasn't discontinued. I didn't care for it until after the fermentation, but damn was it good afterwards.

Adam I actually DO put vinegar in my coffee (or at least the water I use to brew coffee)! Because the water where I live is slightly basic once it is filtered, I have to add a slight amount of vinegar (I use distilled white) to bring it back to a neutral pH. If I don't, it neutralizes all the acid in my coffee and I am left with an extremely bland, bitter cup!

Fun fact about the sulfites. I learned this because my wife is allergic to it. The process of making the wine and even some beers it causes sulfites to form naturally. If there is a certain percentage of sulfites in the wine it must be labeled on the bottle. There is at least one product I've seen that is out there that helps filter the sulfites out.

I mean, do it like in the video. Add some Hydrogen peroxide to it. The sulfides react, forming sulfur dioxide, which then leaves the bottle. Wait a bit before your drink it. Like an hour or so, I don't know how much sulfides are in wine and how fast the sulfur dioxide leaves the bottle. I'm sure the wine will taste different, how different? No idea, but it won't have sulfides in it. :)

it never ceases to amaze me how many foodstuffs inventions seem to come about by the process of "oh, hey, what is this weird thing that appeared on my food which I left out for some time? let's taste it! oh, it's horrible, what can I do to still use/eat it but avoid the horribleness?" that's like, totally against the instinct for which the sense of taste developed. also how much of the foodstuff processes contains some kind of "the food is basically getting bad and eaten by bacteria, but in a very specific way that transforms it into something edible for different reasons. it's like the ancient version of finding a years old leftover chip behind the couch except instead of just eating it (even with all the molds) you eat half of it, and try to cook the other half in 5 different ways to find out which one makes you the least sick, and then you try dropping the crumbs into other foods to see what will happen with them in few more months. jeez, ancient people had so much time on their hands. also realizing that the fancy "fermentation" word just means "drop the right kind of dirt in there and let it spoil in the right way, because what you're after is the poop of the bacteria in that dirt" is a huge breakthrough.

as a non-Muslim, i had this thought. if vinegar is "blessed", as the Qur'an says. shouldn't that mean it's automatically Halal? even if the alcohol present is leftover from the making process. you know: an exception made for vinegar, because of all the benefits it brings. kinda like keeping the baby, and the bathwater. not saying this as a method to "cheat". you know, adding a splash of vinegar to a glass of wine so you can pass it off as "totally a glass of vinegar" and "totally Halal." no, i'm talking specifically leftover from the making process. so any true vinegar with added wine would be... i guess it's in a gray zone and up to the Muslim's discretion. i mean, it's "blessed". doesn't that make it Halal? or am i missing something?

Actually a lot of the character of whisky comes from the malt and how it's dried (i.e. over burning / smoking peat or not..). The other most important source of flavour compounds is the wood the barrels are made from and, in a lot of cases, what had been in the barrels before the whisky. Distillation method is maybe third, with distilleries like Glenmorangie which uses long-necked stills having a smoother taste as the alcohol produced is more pure to start with.
