decant beer?
|
|
Here's the situation:
750ml bottle
bottle conditioned
expensive (relatively)
only 1 person drinking it (me)
I'm not a huge fan of drinking the dregs of a bottle conditioned beer so I'd like to keep most of the yeast in the bottle, and being relatively expensive I don't want to waste any, but alas I do not own a 750ml glass.
What do I do?

Do you have multiple glasses whose cumulative volumes add up to 750mL or greater?
With practice you decant the whole bottle with a single pour and not spill any.

How about a pitcher or large glass container or jar?

Decant, yes! I have beer pitchers that I decant into when drinking 750 bottles. It works great. No waste. No stopping an pouring to multiple glasses.

I wish I had a bierstiefel! For now, I think a pitcher will work nicely - thanks for the reassurance!

I don't think a boat is necessary guys.

Maybe not necessary, but isn't drinking beer on a boat pretty much close to perfection? (assuming, of course, that said boat was something along the lines of this or this or perhaps this...though personally, I would also settle for this)
