I prefer the old fashioned method:
1. Open up a bottle. Be disappointed by the weak "pfft". Pour it and hope for some head. After the wife says no, drink the beer and be disgusted by how flat it is. The realize that you bottled it that afternoon.
2. Open up a bottle a week later. Be happy that it has some foam on it. Drink it, then decide to wait.
3. Open up a bottle, find out its perfect. Put four in the fridge, finish them before the fourth is even cool.
4. Start brewing a new batch. Stop paying attention to the last batch and focus on the new batch. Repeat step one, but this time add an argument with the wife.
