Are you able to vent some CO2 in on top of it? In my experience cider is very susceptible to acetobacter with even a slight introduction of O2.

Did you end up putting beans into the bottle? How did it turn out? Was there a reduction in extraction due to the beans being whole?

Be courageous!

Drink Tecate and Sol, and use beer caps!

Those don't look like burrs, it looks like each petal of the cone is folding on itself. Are they dry?

Are you sure they're not eating bugs on the cones?

Sounds... expensive. And unpredictable. You'd probably boil away most of the alcohol. Something wonky would happen with your existing hops and the utilization of your additional hops.

Looks like it would be used for projects not discussed on this site.... if you catch my drift.

These are showing up a lot of places, for a lot less than $55. Same thing Stanley "carbonated drink" bottles A decent Kleen Kanteen would probably work just as well, though it won't be insulated.

I use mine as a fermenter.

My barleywine picked up some great vanilla flavors from the barrel and just a hint of rum in only 7 days. Now for a nice long bulk age out of the barrel.

Check it out in use!

I used one of these to override a burned out control panel on a keg fridge, so yes it's possible. I had to wire up the fan separately though. What raouliii says, I believe, is correct.
