Problem: Article: Ammonium nitrate, the active ingredient in many cold packs, is essential for making potassium nitrate. Choose a cold pack that has ammonium nitrate as a primary active ingredient. If you don't have enough ammonium nitrate from the first cold pack, purchase a second one as needed. You can find cold packs containing ammonium nitrate from most pharmacy or health stores. You can also buy pure ammonium nitrate online or from laboratory supply stores. Making potassium nitrate involves handling substances that can irritate your eyes, lungs, and skin. To prevent injuries while making this chemical, wear safety goggles, a gas mask, and thick rubber gloves. Use scissors to cut lengthwise along the top of the cold pack. Pour out the contents of the pack into a large measuring bowl marked for millimeters. If you don't have any scissors nearby, you can use a sharp knife instead. Fill a measuring cup with 70 millilitres (2.5impfloz; 2.4floz) of hot waterhot enough to notice the temperature but not boiling or near-boiling. Pour the hot water into the ammonium nitrate and stir thoroughly with the water. Pour slowly to prevent the solution from splashing up and causing accidental skin irritation. Continue stirring until the ammonium nitrate dissolves completely into the hot water. Some cold packs use ammonium nitrate and a mixture of other chemicals that can dilute your final product. To prevent this, place a coffee filter over a separate measuring bowl and pour the ammonium nitrate solution slowly over the empty bowl. When you've finished pouring, discard the coffee filter immediately to prevent it from contaminating the purified solution.
Summary: Purchase a cold pack that contains ammonium nitrate. Put on goggles, a gas mask, and a pair of rubber gloves. Cut open the pack and pour out 80 millilitres (2.8impfloz; 2.7floz) of the ammonium nitrate. Add 70 millilitres (2.5impfloz; 2.4floz) of hot water and stir the mixture. Purify the ammonium nitrate with a coffee filter.

Problem: Article: Pour rather vigorously so as to help stimulate the head of the "tan" part of the drink. The spoon should be held upside down, with the handle resting against the rim and the mouth-piece touching the opposite inner side of the glass. If desired, special "black and tan" spoons are available for purchase and designed specifically for this drink. You want the Guinness to settle gently over the top of the "tan," so take your time to get the perfect pour. This will also allow for the best head to form. For a unique twist on a classic black and tan, try a "black adder." To create this, use the same process as explained above, but substitute the light ale with cider.
Summary: In Ireland, a half and half is a combination of Guinness draught and Harp or Smithwick's Ale, with the Guinness in a layer on top. Take a bottle of pale ale or lager and fill the glass halfway. Arrange a spoon over the mouth of the glass. Slowly pour cold Guinness over the spoon. Drink and enjoy!
