Better than sanitzed water or tap water?
Has anyone drank the airlock vodka? (I know, seems like a dumb question.)
I'm still shocked by the vodka. Tasteless, that why we don't use Sailor Jerry rum? The high alcohol content of the vodka prevents infection that tap water would welcome? Even sanitized water would/could eventually become contaminated?
Not to hijack the thread or anything and considering the subject matter, I wonder how many of us are actually somewhat intoxicated when we post. Vodka?
So, if there is a pressure change and a little vodka gets sucked back into your brew? well, ABV just increased? If vodka is sucked back into your brew will that kill/hurt/interfere with the yeasties? So, has anyone added alcohol, everclear, to their brew just to up their ABV? Isn't that cheating?
Air locks allows pressure to escape. What if we didn't allow pressure to escape? or increased pressure? Pressure Cooking? Very Bad??
I doubt I would have come up with half these questions if I wasn't drinking Leffe just to come close to tasting Revvy's leffe clone. Good grief, I'm dringing beer that I've never heard of, while my first batch is languishing in my closeted swamp beer, just so I can dream about making awesome beer.
Even with the airlock, I once had to clean beer off my ceiling.
That was a rough morning.
Did you take 2 consequetive gravity readings over a three day period to determine fermentation was complete BEFORE you racked? There's no reason for any active fermentation in a secondary.
