Upon further review, I do regret bringing his mother into this. I take that back. And I'm sure there are some nice people in AK. I even know some hillbillies who're cool. I take back nothing else.

Ummm... You do know what state he's in, right??? Not many hillbillies there (if any actually). But plenty of manly men that could probably do scary things (for others at least) without blinking.

Math? Ha! Ha!

I just realized what the hell you were doing with your second post. You were trying to give ME a math lesson. As I suspected you're not too bright. You didn't really understand my question.

You see, until nutrients are exhausted, yeast doubles in population at a fixed rate of time. This, just so you know (and do spread the word in AK), is known as an exponential rate of growth. So, if that rate is, lets say 20 minutes, and I put in, say 1/16 of the yeast I would normally put, in it would take about 60 minutes to catch up to the normal amount of yeast I would put in. Meaning, I would've been behind by 60 minutes only and not by a factor of 1/16.

That's what I meant when I said, "I pitched it figuring that the exponential rate of growth would mean that it would work out to be about the same amount of time + a few minutes to a couple of hours at most".

Now tell me more about your hillbilly state, 'cus I really give a crap.

I'm so mad my airlock is not bubbling!

What does it have to do with this thread? Absolutely nothing,but then again this thread has long since had anything to do with the original topic....

Cheers!

You got me all wrong there mike. I don't need anything positive form you. Just need you to STFU. There are other people, much smarter than you, who got this already. You just go back to your donkey humping or whatever it is that you do in AK.

I'm so mad that I get donkeys confused with polar bears!
 
I lived in AK for 15 years...now I'm a hillbilly....anyways lets play nice. :)
 
Here in Scotland we don't have donkeys or polar bears :( but we do have sheep :)
 
I was a truck mechanics for years. Scary seeing 5 middle eastern types and a goat get out of one semi. 0_0
