I don't think it would have much affect on carbonation. Once a small amount of CO2 is generated the bottle will be "unsqueezed" and you'll be right back where you started.

The CO2 will escape from the liquid if you don't keep it under pressure. It isn't just about oxygen.

Man, that could have ended so much worse. Glad you didn't end up in the ER.

And of course I'm serious. I'm a noob!

I dunno man, I just saw ash and made the connection.

Smoky flavor?

Could I dump some into my wort to oxygenate it?

According to the descriptions from Midwest, the BC can be connected to a drill without modification, but maybe the maltmill cannot? Why not something like this? Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Grizzly H7775 Cast Iron Corn / Grain Mill Too slow? One of the reviews said it takes 3-5 minutes per...

Maybe a bit off topic, but I think it's worth mentioning that the only amount of alcohol we know to be safe for the fetus is zero. This is coming from a doctor who is so far the only person who brings me empties, so she is no prude. edit: To go further off topic, I just opened the last bag of...

Ok, I think the main reason I was having trouble is that it's actually Oxiclean, not Oxyclean. I searched for both on Walmart.com and didn't get any hits. Would it be near the laundry detergents?

Where do you get oxyclean?

It's the creepy thermometer smile that does it for me. With this considered, I'd like to know how detrimental type 2 or 3 plastic really is.

Will they let in more O2 than a better bottle?

I just bought some 5 gallon plastic water bottles at walmart for $6.50 each.

So far I've only ordered from Midwest, and I've made 3 orders. On my first order, they sent me the wrong extract kit - Irish Red instead of Irish Stout. Being excited about my first batch I brewed it anyway and they offered me a 50% refund which I accepted. Later on, before racking batch 2...

I have found that once you can get it to stay in and stay there for a day or so, the stopper's shape conforms to the carboy and you won't have the problem with that stopper anymore. The other day I used a rubber band to hold one down.

Thanks a lot for the calculation. When this is done I'd like to know how much alcohol I'm drinking.

I just started my first 2 batches of Edwort's Apfelwein, and each have an OG of 1.050 compared to Edwort's 1.066. I only deviated from the recipe by using Mott's apple juice instead of Tree Top. Is this the likely reason? Anyone know the SG of Tree Top? I measured Mott's at 1.046. Does...

The way you've described this, I don't think you really need to sanitize anything.

I don't see why anyone couldn't order a syringe and a piece of tubing.
