    I want everyone to understand that you can not have methanol type poisoning from the regular beer brewing process. Too many people think home brewing is harder or can lead to poisoning… it just doesn’t happen.

    This is only possible in commercial brewing where the tanks have temperature jackets.

    And even in commercial brewing you’re required to use safe substances in the jackets, in case there is some type of hole. In the US I think the only thing approved is propylene glycol which is non-toxic (but expensive in large quantities).

    How this even happened is beyond me… but that’s why they require food safe, just in case.
