All good AB...

I think we can let this discussion fizzle out now, it's obviously not going anywhere.

other then the fact its over 80% and that induces vomiting, denatonium/bitrex is nontoxic!
Its often used as the placebo in medical trials! http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0021968187901871
And is also used to stop thumb sucking in children!

There is however an issue with how the ethanol is produced for diggers, it could be using GM yeast or it can be made from cracked hydrocarbons which doesn't involve fermentation, in that case there is possibility of heavy metal impurities and other nasties.

If you cant detect my sarcasm, then this is my final message
Metho is worse then fernet and the bitterness is increasing and will persist on your pallet for a long time with the amount thats in metho
Not to mention it could infact contain nasty impurities, it is however a common misconseption that the impurity is methanol

Mate sarcasm is very hard to tell in this format and although I do like sarcasm it's not appropriate in the Safety Discussion forum ;-)

Yep thats great that its 80% true and 20% bullshit and everyone out there is meant to be able determine that but like I said in a safety discussion thread there is no place for misinformation no matter how it is supposed to be perceived.

Mate, the fact is those sort of coments should not be said on an open forum period...
If you would like to argue the point feel free to pm myself or one of the team.

Just remember this is a forum to help newbies as much as growing the knowledge for the experienced. Its not a place to comment or sugest on risky or unsafe practices.


Spot on rummy :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Wrong message indeed.

However, i reckon Mdawg was rightly calling "BullShit" on the post prior.... but he is guilty of getting carried away :naughty:

I hope he's learnt a lesson :pray:
