I'm guessing this is a dumb question. But hey, at least it's not the only dumb question out there.
I was explaining to my wife about why you should bottle condition with the bottles upright, per comments here. For example, the reduced air space as opposed to laying down means less risk of oxidation. She asked me, "Is that why longneck bottles are designed that way?"
I figured that was a pretty decent question (compared to most of the things she asks ). Maybe that was because we had gone through about a dozen home brews by then (my red ale and porters are good to drink now and are quite decent).
Anyway, any thoughts on this?
