      That’s actually quite cool to know.
      I’ve always wanted to make my own Cola, especially since I can’t tolerate even small amounts of caffeine. Thanks!

        I have used Jan Kruegers guide along with Sqouzen and Open Cola to find the correct ratios needed. Jan’s recipe was chosen because its sugar free and skips the step with making sugar syrup, and you end up with 257ml syrup that gives 45l cola.

        I’m on the fourth 1/4 scale batch, and weigh everything because its more precise than measuring volume, and that have helped me dial in the correct amounts.

        I found that it’s fun it is to tinker with all the ratios in a spreadsheet, while dialing in the recipe to my taste.

        Even Coke got rid of the kola nut, so the caffeine is purely optional at this point. Other than the caffeine, all it offered was a bitter flavor that needed to be offset by sugar and acid.

        Edit: though caffeine itself is also bitter so you can’t just completely remove it without either significantly modifying the recipe or adding a bitter replacement

      That’s not the ingredient list, the list is to the left, and that’s not a version number, it’s a reference to a food category system.

      12.6.1 Emulsified sauces and dips
      Sauces, gravies, dressings based and dips, at least in part, on a fat- or oil-in water emulsion such as salad dressing (e.g. French, Italian, Greek, ranch style), fat-based sandwich spreads (e.g. mayonnaise with mustard), salad cream, and fatty sauces and snack dips (e.g. bacon and cheddar dip, onion dip).

    The only option now is to slap an Intel Inside® sticker on your forehead and wait to be backdoored by three-letter agencies. My condolences to you and your back door.

        Well, as far as I know, the open source seeds are not that great. It is not commercially viaible to switch your agriculture business to them. Maybe only a tiny plot for marketing campaigns like the “open source bread” some bakeries want to sell.

        I’d love to see some billionaire hire a bunch of plant biologist to develop modern, high performing, commercially viable seeds and open source them instead of milking the cashcow.

        The opensource seeds project does not reject gen tech per se. but since they don’t have that kind of money, all the seeds they develop are made through old school breeding of outdated seeds that are not commercially licensed.

        But I think the idea is not only very important but also really interesting.

    Technically all sandwiches are proprietary. Don’t eat public sandwiches, we went through a pandemic, we should know better.

      That’s not what proprietary means. The dualism is proprietary/free (as in freedom), not proprietary/public.

        Don’t eat free to use sandwiches, either. Ew.

        The UX is mostly garbage on those anyway.

        Man, you must be a riot at parties.
