Our entire debate..

Cool thank you for clearing that up some more. My question at this point is still though what is there physical reality of heat transfer. In the case of heat flowing from a colder object to a hotter object, it is still heat transfer vs cool transfer. Likewise, why is there a limit to how...

The Chimays are indeed tasty beers and fun to share. I can't say I like stouts much (with the exception being coffee or espresso stouts) and hops is not really my thing too much. This pretty much leaves me in the land of tripels, golden ales, hefes and wit beers as far standard beers go...

Homebrewers, what was one of your fav beers you made? And what do you drink now?

IS THERE NO ONE WITH A THERMODYNAMIC BACKGROUND THAT CAN PUT THIS ALL IN TO CONTEXT As far as what actually happens in the physical world, I'll get back to you but ironically I think the answer is in the...

Did you get a chance to try some Russian River brews.

Oh basically anything that's not massed produce to the extent bud is. Sam Adams counts. A more thorough definition is 'Craft Beer is an American term which is also common in Canada and New Zealand and generally refers to beer that is brewed using traditional methods, without adjuncts such as...

Ok so how many craft beer fans we got on this? This morning I had an Orval and it was delicious. What beers do you guys drink when working or studying or doing neither?

I hate to see posts go back and forth just quoting each other as it gets petty, hard to read and discourages others from contributing so I will keep it minimal. What? You actually haven't linked anything. The one thing you tried to was broken. When I fixed it, I got a paper on how we should...

No actually it's just you. No the agreed upon definition in physics is that heat is thermal energy. No that's temperature. No you can't purpose we drop this accepted meaning because you were unaware of it. No we don't insist, we are just using the agreed upon definition. No this whole...

In the physical world, heat transfer only happens in one direction. Always. From a hotter body to a colder body. As far as I understand, heat is also a measure of energy. So any object can have a certain level of heat there is no such measurement for cool.

Right I understand that on paper adding heat is like adding negative cold. But I am referring to what's actually happening on the physical level, in which case heat transfer can only happen from a warmer body to a colder one as energy is passed from one to the other. This is why I'm insisting...

Hey thanks for finally being the one to help us out with this one. By the way, I went to your site and couldn't help but notice you looked familiar. Then I remembered Link deleted too much info Keep Gazin!

Note, this is the OP in the convo...

EDIT: We are looking for someone to clear things up for us! An engineer friend of mine and I are having a debate about heat vs cold. Basically I am saying you can't 'add cold' to a system you can only add or take away heat and for some reason he is disagreeing. Chat of Gchat/AIM ****...
