That would be sweet but unfortunately it can't be done. I just tested it. The pressure builds so much and so quickly in the airspace that it squeezed right out of the cap. It was hissing out until I released the cap a bit. Not enough time for all the "partial pressure" to push into the liquid...

I immensely enjoyed reading the entire thread to catch up. I went for a walk afterward and thought to myself, of all the thousands of beers I've bottled, I allowed them all to oxidize as they conditioned! Here is my contribution. It's meant to stimulate criticism and progress. I researched...

ChatGTP has "moods." Researchers have shown that AI may follow a tangent, or a style of writing, in order to be consistent. No way that represents us. Not a chance! I opened a new dialagoue with the AI and said, "You said some mean things to homebrewers in the past. How will you redeem...

I want you to know that I agree. In fact, in my years brewing, recipe development and execution has been one of the funnest parts. I love researching the stuff and putting it all together, from start to finish. Please look at the response that ChatGPT made for you. I repeat, this is a quote...

Thought it was pretty fun to be tested on my beer knowledge with a real practice exam to become a Beer Judge on the BJCP website. It was pretty forgiving, but cool because it doesn't cost anything. Maybe someone else will get a kick out of it. bjcp.coursewebs.com/cart/Default.aspx Free BJCP...

I think its your humility, too, that has helped you get this far and for that reason, YOU rock.

Last bottle of this split batch! It's the first batch I brewed with the digiboil electric brew kettle (for mashing and boiling, now a dozen brews deep) and also the last batch before a recirculator pump, 2 major changes. I've made so many process upgrades since this brew, including fresher hops...

Imagine boiling beer for an hour then colling it. It would be a different beverage, but have it's own flavor.

Yes beer, post fermentation.

The picture is of a glass fermenter at night. At the bottom of the picture is one of those infrared thermometers with a laser pointer tilted sideways. The laser beam is going through the vessel and coming back like a mirror image. The bright red dor at the top (the monster's eye) is where the...

So...should I call this beer red glowing eyed monster or Kryptonite? thanks guys!

I definitely agree. But the cold crash entails ramifications which take time, energy, and may even involve a process that can introduce oxidation. Everything I produce has my name and signature on it -- that will never change. The experience of the beer is a holistic process involving so much...

Same beer in both photos. Only used whirlfloc, a secondary, and a cold crash. But not everyone looks at the beer before they drink it and say ahhhhh. I literally watched someone do that yesterday without much consideration. Who's surprised? Yes, the clarity plays a role, but so few people are as...

I agree. I'm thankful for the vibrancy of this forum. Always something new to read, always something interesting being talked about. I would have come here sooner if it wasn't for my loyalty to my original forum. For example, I've picked up several new standard bewday practices here, which have...

I like when beer gets so clear in the secondary you can see a laser bounce inside the fermenter, all the way to the other side and back. Take a close look. Can anyone guess by the shape what is obscuring the full view of the path of the laser? Hint: It's floating at the top.

I've witnessed what you speak of with my very eyes. It makes me realize there must be a lot of bad beer coming from some people. We may exist, but it appears we may be in a different universe than some.

Everyone needs a little luck with a new try. Yes I've dry hopped with El D. it's an excellent all rounder hop. You could post your recipe but the feedback we'll give is likely only opinion (conjecture) until you taste it yourself. I say go for it!! But post your recipe so we can see it 😉 I did...

Agree with surface tension comment. Also can easily filter with food grade mesh.

I know a number of people who express interest in brewing but don't do it. Many of these prospective homebrewers just need a kick to get going. A loved one bought me a kit. That's what I needed to get started. I may never have otherwise. If we all invited a friend to brew, or gifted someone a...
