OT: carbon dioxide reduction question

Yes.

Deliver? or receive.... The brewing process generates CO2.

Good, thank you for confirming that.

I always drank tap water (again no difference in taste in my opinion, and it is essentially free) but stopped when fluoride was put in by QLD state government order earlier in the year, as there is plenty of controversy as to its safety that I would rather not risk it. Back to rain water for me.

(For those that are into carbon footprints, I don't see how you can beat rainwater).

I know for a fact that one of the large name mineral waters sold here in WA is simply bore water from a property in the hills near Perth.

Tap water is the way to go.

yup basic chemistry , beer is related to yogurt :) I know which I prefer

For what ?

How about all the ambulance traffic for people who get dysentery from drinking the bird droppings rinsed off their roof? ;-&

On modern tanks, you have a "first flush" unit, that discards the first lot of water, this allows sufficient time for the roof to be washed clean before the tank starts filling, then the water is fine, no dirt and crap. Interestingly though, at school a long long time ago, we had 2x 8,000 gallon (approx) tanks that collected rain water from the roof for drinking - no first flush or filter, everyone drank out of them, including the teachers and no one got sick from it.

Of course, if there were toxic chemicals in the air and it wasnt safe, I wouldnt drink it, but that isnt the case here.

No health problems in my family.

"**BIG difference. Beer and some sparkling wines generate their own CO2 via the fermentation process." 10/2/2011

On Tue, 4 Oct 2011 06:33:30 +1100, "Trevor Wilson" put finger to keyboard and composed:

I don't see the distinction. If we didn't brew alcoholic beverages, then we wouldn't be creating CO2. Therefore, CO2 generated by the fermentation process is still essentially man-made.

It's a bit like saying that it's not our driving that causes air pollution, it's the natural consequence of the internal combustion process.

- Franc Zabkar

Was clarifying since there was a difference of opinion there, and it is always wise to take what Trevor says with a grain of salt when discussing anything to do with carbon dioxide as he pulls out the corporate "21st century religious ministry" called the IPCC .

Thank you for your assistance Trevor.

For some reason, this idiot

The CO2 comes out once you open the drinks though, or once it is drunk, absorbed by and then expelled from the human body - and probably a lot of CO2 (looking at if from a "warmist" point of view) is emitted in the process of producing and transporting this CO2 in the first place.

I don't drink the s*it, so Im not contributing to this form of "carbon pollution" (unimportant), to corporate profits (important), or to my own bad health. (very important)

Can't you read? I said DELIVER. What was generated by the brewing process didn't produce enough CO2, so they trucked in what they needed to get the desired levels. There are a lot of different ways to brew beer, after all.

HMMM - very nasty comment Trevor. We are starting to see your true "green fascism" personality shine through.

Religious Nutters ? LOL

So I take it you are obsessed with vegetarian/veganism, and such s*it then if that is the case ?

Enjoy those lentils then while you bash your IPCC bible.

We are starting to see your true

Not all that closely, different bacteria, different inputs, and different outputs.
