We cert= ainly recommend annually or semi annually. In some cases we are even doing = monthly tasks. (For a pound of cure) TID BITS= * Jimmy Page from Led Zepplin throws a cheese compe= tition every year in the UK with 905 kinds of cheeses on an acre worth of b= oard tables.

DIGESTER= HISTORY Capturing gas from biological waste to create energ= y has been experimented with for centuries. In fact one of the first noted = anaerobic digestion systems was built in Bombay India in 1859 to provide en= ergy to a leper colony. A similar process was used in 1895 in England where= biogas was recovered from a sewage treatment facility to fuel street lamps= . Also when early North American settlers hit the open prairies where wood = and grass were hard or come by, they gathered dried buffalo excrement (call= ed buffalo chips or meadow muffins) for evening fires. The technology has c= ertainly come a long way. (Plant West www.plantwest.ca) DIGESTER= S Houle has strong ties to “before and after= 221; pumping and separating to many new digesters all over North America. P= acific Dairy will be involved with two new digesters being erected in the F= raser Valley. One at the Echo Dairy and one at Catalyst Power in Sumas. ICE CREAM BREAKTHROUGH There is now technology to make ice cream that is m= uch colder than what is currently available at your local supermarket. The = people at SUB ZERO, a scoop shop in Utah have used liquid nitrogen to break= this alleged barrier, and Jennifer Bogo, Senior Science Editor at Po= pular Mechanics Magazine, tested their techniques. The good news: This is w= hat happens when you pour –320F liquid nitrogen into an ice cream mix= , it freezes |
