negligence (especially via ignorance) is a thing. a hobbyist wanting to celebrate their first batch with their buddies can poison them with some smeared hearts. but i get what you’re saying.

No, they really can't.

First, if they are not using anything with pectin in it, there isn't a significant amount of methanol at all worth measuring.

Second, if they did use fruit skins in the fermentation stage, there still isn't enough methanol to compete with the ethanol, (which is the cure to methanol poisoning) with out intentionally poisoning the batch.

You shouldn't push such FUD.

  • ok. thanks for the correction. that’s good information that helps me overcome some of the FUD i’ve received
