Why is a sight tube used and how necessary is it?
I notice a sugary after taste in some beers, and would like to avoid that in my own brews. Is kegging a way to prevent this as opposed to bottling?
I've heard that beer goes bad if it is chilled (once bottled/canned/kegged) and then warms up, and chilling it again will not save it. Is this true? And if so, why?
Why does the end of a blow off tube need to be submerged in liquid? To maintain proper sanitation?
Last stupid questions is this..as I understand it, the yeast eat the sugars and produce alcohol in the process. Obviously when fermenting the lid is mostly sealed but what prevents the alcohol from evaporating?
Thanks.
