Fart smell and hard apple cider

Dec 10, 2009 17:22

So Eric's doing some homebrewing (mostly some pretty badass beers) and one of the things he's making is apfelwein (basically hard apple cider). The rest is self explanatory.

[17:18] Eric: alright....time to hit the road
[17:18] Eric: and avoid teh rhino farts from teh apfelwein
[17:18] DanWhoLikesPie: Aight niggz.
[17:18] DanWhoLikesPie: hahahahaha
[17:19] Eric: apparently it gives off h2s during fermentation
[17:19] DanWhoLikesPie: uh-oh...
[17:19] DanWhoLikesPie: That's hydrogen sulfide, right?
[17:19] DanWhoLikesPie: AKA fart smell?
[17:19] Eric: yup
[17:19] Eric: aka swamp gas
[17:19] Eric: aka highly toxic too
[17:19] DanWhoLikesPie: Sadly, that's one of the few things I remember from high school chemistry.
[17:20] Eric: haha yeah....its as toxic as hydrogen cyanide
[17:20] DanWhoLikesPie: DAMN.
[17:20] Eric: aka mustard gas
[17:20] DanWhoLikesPie: Wow.
[17:20] Eric: i highly doubt itll reach the 300ppm or so to be that toxic...
[17:21] Eric: but exposure to more like 75 ppm for relatively short periods can leave lasting effects for a few weeks
[17:21] DanWhoLikesPie: hmm...
[17:21] Eric: i know this shit for my job
[17:21] DanWhoLikesPie: Leavin it in the apartment?
[17:21] Eric: h2s is one of the byproducts of my job
[17:22] Eric: or rather processing facilites
[17:22] Eric: which i have to go in sometimes
[17:22] Eric: so i gotta know...
[17:22] Eric: lol
[17:22] Eric: yep
[17:22] DanWhoLikesPie: I see.
[17:22] Eric: in teh bathroom with the door closed so it stays warmer
[17:22] DanWhoLikesPie: Hahaha
[17:22] DanWhoLikesPie: Your bathroom will smell like ass.
[17:22] Eric: haha....yeah...
[17:22] DanWhoLikesPie: How ironic.
[17:22] Eric: and teh ceiling vent wont do much about it
[17:22] Eric: since its a heavier than air gas
[17:23] DanWhoLikesPie: Interesting.
[17:23] Eric: but enough of this shit....im gonna hit the road and grab a bite b4 i starve or get snowed in
[17:23] DanWhoLikesPie: Aight dawg.
[17:23] DanWhoLikesPie: Peace out!

Farts are heavier than air and can also kill you! Who knew?
