Home Distiller

can some one please give me the definative answer on how to rejuvinate carbon....can you boil it 3 or 4 times throwing away the water each time...and then, boil and let sit covered with a lid for 24 hrs....or must you boil 3 or 4 times and then bake at 300 for 3 hrs...i have heard both ways and am wondering what is the correct way....

It needs to be baked. But be careful as alcohol vapours will be released and could be flammable.

Don't answer him, Lindsay. He's a bloody troll. See last months' messages in new_distillers. Vodkadaddy, piaggiodaddy, homerun, Jon Scott from Texas, all one & the same. All asking inane questions to which he already knows the answers.


Slainte!

Can someone please tell me what a Troll is, in this context???

i had never heard the term b4 other then a little ugly guy who lives under a bridge in ireland....now i am finding out, in this context , it is a person who ask questions (on internet forums) he or she already knows the answers to, just because they have nothing else to do....a person who is very board with life....
for some reason, this harry guy thinks i am a troll because i ask to many questions....i am very new to distilling and find it fasinating....i do have a lot of questions but only because i want to learn...i thought that what these forums were for...anyway, thanks for your help, take care,

In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory messages on the internet, such as on online discussion forums, to disrupt the discussion or to upset its participants. The word, or its derivative, "trolling", is also used to describe such messages or the act of posting them.


Etymology
The contemporary use of the term first appeared on Usenet groups in the late 1980s. It is widely thought to be a contraction of the phrase "trolling for suckers," itself derived from the sport fishing technique of trolling. The latter can be compared with trawling, of which it is a near homophone.

The word likely gained currency because of its apt second meaning, drawn from the "trolls", which are portrayed in Scandinavian folklore, and children's tales, as often ugly, obnoxious creatures that are bent on wickedness and mischief.

Attention-seeking trolls (This one fits our friend)
This class of trolls seeks to obtain as many responses as possible and to absorb a disproportionate amount of the collective attention span.

Messages containing an obvious flaw or error: "I think 2001: A Space Odyssey is Roman Polanski's best movie."

Asking for help with an implausible task or problem "How do I season my Crock Pot? I don't want everything cooked in it to taste the same."

Intentionally naive messages: "Should I put olive oil in my pasta water, when cooking pasta?"

Intentionally posting an outrageous argument, deliberately constructed around a fundamental but obfuscated flaw or error. Often the poster will become defensive when the argument is refuted, but may instead continue the thread through the use of further flawed arguments; this is referred to as "feeding" the troll.

Politically contentious messages: "I think George W. Bush is the best/worst President ever."

Posting politically sensitive images in inappropriate places.

Pretending to be innocent, after a flamewar ensues.

Off-topic complaints about personal life, or threats of suicide: sometimes, this is the "cry for help" troll.

Plural or paranoid answers to personal opinions expressed by individuals: "I don't believe that all of you really believe that, you are teaming against me."

Any combination of the above: For example, a troll will combine inflammatory statements with poor grammar and AIM-speak (which is also known as "netspeak"). "lmfao u are so weak minded and predictablei thought i wan iggied i play ya like a card"

This troll talk is really off topic now isn't is? I mean, cut the guy some slack... he's from Dallas after all.

ya know, after thinking about that for a second, I recommend a new hobby, like microwave cookery. or crochet.

sorry, couldn't help myself

go look up gert strand...

Hi Gang: Troll or not, I have tried to rejuvinate carbon and it's just not worth it. Go get yourself a good supply, it's cheap enough, and just toss it out. "generalcarbon.com" ....BJJB

Yeah, it's not worth the hassle--especially if you're in Dallas, right down the road from the Marshall, TX Norit plant! Make up a story, give them a call, they'll send "samples"!

Yep, there's a fine line between parsimony and stupidity!! Sometimes I have been known to stray over said line

Like your signature BJJB!

Hi Lindsay: Thanks. I think it was Henny Youngman, but I'm not sure....BJJB
