Attack their ideas, not their language. Plenty to go after there without targeting the person behind them.

EDIT: I’ve just done some quick research and it seems like stellarsan is a locally made equivalent to starsan in Australia. It’s probably so much cheaper just because it’s not an import.

Starsan is a recognizable trusted brand. I know exactly what I’m getting when I buy starsan. I have never before heard of stellarsan and cannot vouch for how well it works. I will say that the fact they’ve specifically chosen a name that could feasibly be confused with the established brand does not bode well for their own legitimacy.

That’s the reason for the price difference I would guess. Name recognition vs taking a gamble on some unknown brand

If you must buy online because you don’t have a local homebrew store, I recommend only doing so through a reputable seller that specializes in brewing supplies. Amazon is not ideal, and I’m not sure if kegland can be trusted as I’ve never heard of them. Try to make connections with other brewers in your area and see where they are ordering things from. Sadly, from what I’ve heard Australia is not the easiest place to source…well, anything from lol

The Futur* is Now

There is a light af the end of the tunnel for Joe and the rest of Elan in this story. It’s not a perfect happy ending, but there’s plenty of positive by the end.

YSAK - Very, very, very few of the people complicit in this industry ever had any real consequences for perpetuating a system of child abuse that lead to the destruction of so many lives going back to at least the late 60’s. Most of these monsters simply moved on to other things after their institutions were finally shut down.

Some were even publicly lauded by their communities and powerful leaders for their “contributions” to society.

I appreciate this is progress and on a greater scale than nearly any other state can boast, but 17 years still seems like an eternity when this year has seen how many of the record highest temperatures for the last several centuries?

It just seems like even the most progressive policies we are able to enact are scheduled as though we have decades to spare to get things on track. We don’t have that kind of time to spare.

Ah hell naw, wassup dog?

100% of the time, even if it’s a weekend morning brew. It just doesn’t feel right to make beer and not have one.
