5 liters = 169 ounces or 14 beers.

Price compare: typically, in California, Heinekein in a 12 pack is a better deal. Even if you ad in the unfair recycle fee, it comes up pennies per bottle chepaer to buy bottles than the mini keg.

How can you grow geosmin-producing Streptomyces with household ingredients?

If you are like me you love Geosmin, I bury my face in it nightly and breath it in! I love it! In fact you could say I am addicted to it. It breeds/smalls best under my manufactured home. No light, cool and damp conditions. You have to move around a lot when digging it up because it is only in the first 3 inches of soil. Once you did the surface off, you must move around to find it. I would say that dirt, light moisture, darkness and ventilation create a good Geosmin but I am needing to find out what they thrive on as far as nutrients. It seems you cannot find an answer anywhere. Clorine and carbon kills it. If you find the answer to the nutrients for Geosmin, let me know at koragriff@yahoo.com

How is barley malted?

The barley is allowed to begin germination which generates enzymes. Then after a bit, the germination is halted by roasting the barley.

The sugar is used later by the yeast to make alcohol.

What is the highest alcohol content?

The highest alcohol content physically possible is 100% abv (alcohol by volume) although this is not suitable for human consumption. The highest alcohol content for a distilled beverage is around 190 proof or 95% abv for grain spirits such as Everclear or Gem Clear. These highly flammable beverages are most often mixed with non-alcoholic drinks such as fruit juices, or in a large communal punch bowl as in "jungle juice." As most liquor is between 40 and 50% abv, the ingestion of such spirits often causes extreme intoxication.
