  • Another note is lactose is used since S. cerevisiae can’t metabolize it to alcohol.

    I’d never wondered if actual dairy was ever added to give milk stout its name until you made me think of sour cream being directly squirted into sour ale wort.(I think the dairy’s lactobacillus would outcompete the sour’s yeast or secondary fermenting bacteria.)

    A lazy web search’s headlines maybe says milk got mixed with (already fermented) porter as a ye olde laborers’ lunch booze to give the style its name, but seems like a true ‘milk stout’ has always been brewed with pure lactose isolate?





  • Iran actually has 1 or 2 airbases “underground”: the hangars & taxiways are situated inside mountain tunnels leading directly to a runway. There’s cool footage of their F-4s parked in them & discussion of how basing Su-35s in a couple such centrally located mountain bases would go a long way towards denying hostile overflights.

    Normal targeting of an airfield usually involves hitting aircraft parking spots & the intersections between taxiways & runways–the runway itself is very easy to repair, to such an extent that munitions specifically designed to attack airfields usually also scatter mines so the enemy can’t simply drive a bulldozer up to the pothole you created & just fill it back in.
