Actually, ectraction must be possible with honey then!

I don't really think they heated that much, it's oven temperature, and water was not driven away.
I think you are correct on "melting" part.
Awesome design! I'll drop a few thoughts on it.
Darkening is just sugar caramelization accelerated greatly by acidity of tips. Just a small pH drop in moisture - and tips are tart - accelerates the process by orders of magnitude.
With high temperature, you lose some volatile stuff unless you have it all sealed (which itself is explosive). I think you can achieve similar extraction by alcohol groups (that's what sugar does) by adding tips in secondary. But then you won't have all this caramel. Caramel could come from specialty malt or sugar caramelized separately. Anyway, overdefined problems are just more refined tools for future experiments!
Was this tips extraction simple? And filtration?

Well, there was documented anthrax outbreak on Siberian permafrost gas explosion, wasn't it? That germ knew what it is doing. It's not about unique genome, it's about sudden high inoculation rate, like bioweapons.
And don't forget all the ancient germs thawing as well!
I hate all the plastic I find in farmland. It's everywhere, my place looks like forest paradise until you start looking closely to find all the archeology. Some new plastic was always thought to be a marvel of farming, every decade had its new things few of which actually worked and none turned out to be good long term (which is weird for people believing that they own the land, nevermind soviets who only pillaged it - this curse is universal). Now it's hazardous waste that's impossible to sift out, only geology and microbial evolution have any chances to take care of it some time (beyond my timescale).
Historically, one of the first uses for synthetic plastic (if not the first use) was farming rope for baling, that was made from metal before that, and metal badly was needed to murder people in WWI and similar conflicts of the time. That was the first fact I learned in polymer chemistry course long time ago. The course was full of synthetic plastics knowledge, and had almost nothing on celluloze- or protein-derived biodegradable material topics, and I guess that's big part of the problem, other than whole deal being started from bloodshed and hypocricy.
At least it's some form of carbon sink; it shows that we can indeed bind carbon longterm at large scale... if we wanted to.
Many people considering migration of course look at Japan - but it seems extremely poor choice, for naturalization is probably the hardest worldwide,lasting some decades,, and you'll never become japanese "for real", maybe your grandchildren, if you first decide to have children in a place where nobody does. Kind of stupid investment. Japanese culture is awesome though, but it's ok to enjoy it while living elsewhere IMHO.
The main use of heaters in this setup is to make the "spring" of oscillatory heat system "stiffer". This should make temperature oscillations faster and smaller in amplitude thus bringing process to more stable state. This is mostly important when you have set temperature close to ambient outside, otherwise you'll inevitably leak a few watt through fridge insulation anyway, and if it's not enough you can always prop the door open. Latter would lead to humidity buildup though. If you set process to 20C, obviously, no leak, huge slow oscillations on heating phase.
Then there is diacetyl rest, I'd just recommend taking that thing out for that.
It has not much use in Finland anyway, and some banks do not even support any integration. I do not understand why would anyone use it, even though I lived in different countries when it was all hype, never even considered enrolling. Like letting some entity you don't trust that's not even governed by your laws with you money? No, thanks.
Well, in Finland, this kind of setup is deeply default. It becomes the main power consumer in November though.
99.999% uptime guarantee is a silly thing, once you realize that all things that have to be just available all the time - some health or security or manufacturing lines - get 10 minutes downtimes easily with all these fancy nines. It's just some cliche to disempower us punks.
