i thought caffeine was grown in plants? (mostly)
i guess a person could synthesize it but, i've read a patent for making industrial ethanol also. and with the effort most people put into cleaning and sanitizing 'round here. it practically is a lab environment!

I don't want to be cremated, I want to be malted.
no one's every asked you "when you add the alcohol to your beer?"
LOL, no! but the last time someone gave me a ride to swap my co2 tank, they ask me what i used it to heat up!
(brewing and knowing how easy/simple it is you forget, everyone starts somewhere!
)

did you tell them it heats up your love-life?
he would have known i was lying! but it would have been funnier! i'll try to remember that one for next time!
(all i did is the nobel thing and explain the force carbing process
)edit: i did get a kick out of it a year or so ago, when he asked how i make beer though. i knew he wasn't probably actually interested, and instead of laying down a basic extract batch. i explained how i malt the barley, brew with it, and ferment it!
LOL
I thought this when I was like, 12.
I also thought caffeine was plant-derived as well, and not lab synthesized. Same way industrial ethanol is made from fermented and distilled corn (usually), is it not? I imagine both could be synthesized in a lab but nature is probably a combo of cheaper, easier, faster, safer, and/or more reliable.

(looked it up, caffeine is commonly found both naturally and synthesized)
no, i'd have to look it up again.

not sure if that's the one i remember.
and coffee brewed from fresh coffee beans is a GREAT source of riboflavin, and pantothenic acid!
i believe it is...
damn, i'd have to google rhetorical, to find out what it means,
lol (but seriously i would, i get the ethene water phosphoric acid is a equilibrium reaction, but all i know of the comment rhetorical question thing...is you didn't expect an answer, lol, i honestly don't know what the word means )

I think chocolate and coffee have caffeine but they must extract it or synthesize it for stuff like mountain dew. Alcohol seems a lot more natural than most people think. Dang I wrote this when I was drunk and stoned and totally forgot I posted this.
chocolate has a analog of caffeine, called theobromine...bad for dogs....

Didn't they do something like that on an episode of Mythbusters?
There was a multinational company mixing cheap industrial alcohol with bourbon and coke down hereabouts. They use real bourbon after getting into legal trouble.
