Beer has a funky sweetness

I'm thinking more along a laboratory experiment. A couple of barometers in the bottles will remove all doubt.

Would that be big bottles or little barometers?

haha orfy funny

rubber stopper in each bottle. put a small amount of water in a single rubber tube and attach it between the bottles. Let this tube dip down in between.

You will have a water level that comes up each side of the hose evenly when the pressure is balanced. If that water starts to move toward one of the bottles, then the pressure from the other bottle is greater.

Kind of like an airlock of sorts, except you have competeing forces on each side.

Sorry it's just me being thick! I've only ever seen this

or this.

I'm sure there are other types....

Ha! Battle of the bottles.... I like it....

Well, since this thread has been resurrected I would like to explain my previous statements. I don't like half empty bottles mainly because I believe they should be empty. I strive most every night to bring mine to this very level regardless of pressures exerted upon me. If a bottle is half empty I firmly believe there is not enough air in the bottle. I take it upon myself to do the right thing and empty it. Buuuurrrpp! nother one bites the dust.

Thank you Gentlemen.

Egad, I didn't even notice the age of the original thread

I like the idea of the tube running between the bottles. Nice and simple.

yeah, seems like a good experiment, but I really think I'm too lazy to actually do it.

I might do this just for kicks, assuming my LHBS has small enough stoppers. I always manage to have a bottle come up less then half full.

 

[Walker]

I think you would have issues with the stoppers (like them coming out of the bottles due to the pressure.) Also, the hose connections would have to be REALLY tight fitting (air-tight, to be specific.)

I thought for about 30 minutes about how to set up the experiment and realized that, though it is a good experiment, it would be a pain to pull off. The hose or stoppers would probably pop off.

Duct tape is certainly the key to this experiment then

 

[Walker]

it ususally is.
