Here's a list of questions I'm frequently asked about the food and drink experiments on this site. While they're pretty reasonable fears or concerns, there's a far more reasonable explanation for why you shouldn't be concerned for explosions or getting sick. For more information on the history and some interesting recipes, check out Sacred and Healing Herbal Beers or for some hard science, get Fermentation and Food Safety.

I'll update it frequently, as more come in. Feel free to send in questions.

Q1. Is it dangerous? Can things explode, make me blind, invoke the wrath of God or a koala, etc?

DIY Electronics

Circuits, from-scratch hardware, lighting and heating ideas, PIC micro-controllers, and anything that means inhaling solder and huffing epoxy.

Fermentation

Simultaneously preserving and improving food and drink with a method of cuisine/storage older than writing. Turn grape juice into Beaujolais into Balsamic into toilet cleaner, milk into Gouda into glue, and smooshed soybeans into Miso into fertilizer.
