decant beer?

[JLem]

Here's the situation:

750ml bottle
bottle conditioned
expensive (relatively)
only 1 person drinking it (me)

I'm not a huge fan of drinking the dregs of a bottle conditioned beer so I'd like to keep most of the yeast in the bottle, and being relatively expensive I don't want to waste any, but alas I do not own a 750ml glass.

What do I do?

Do you have multiple glasses whose cumulative volumes add up to 750mL or greater?

With practice you decant the whole bottle with a single pour and not spill any.

How about a pitcher or large glass container or jar?

perhaps Das Boot?

 

[JJL]

Yes......DAS BOOT!!!

+1 for Das BOOOT!

 

[Quaffer]

Decant, yes! I have beer pitchers that I decant into when drinking 750 bottles. It works great. No waste. No stopping an pouring to multiple glasses.

 

[JLem]

I wish I had a bierstiefel! For now, I think a pitcher will work nicely - thanks for the reassurance!

I don't think a boat is necessary guys.

I don't think a boat is necessary guys.

Maybe not necessary, but isn't drinking beer on a boat pretty much close to perfection? (assuming, of course, that said boat was something along the lines of this or this or perhaps this...though personally, I would also settle for this)

I almost always share 750s but I will say that if you have c02, get yourself a carbonator cap and some liter bottles and you can do some cool stuff like purge one, pour the beer in there, and then hit it with c02 every time you pour some out.

I agree with the first. I have a faint dream of that one day.
Not so much the 2nd. I'm not into decadence.
Definitely the 3rd. No brainer.
But I gotta say, I think rum would be the more apropriate libation aboard #4.
Just sayin...

#1 would be awesome
#2 isn't my style but would be fun for about a weekend
#3 you would have to brew up ALOT of fruit beers and your hands would get tired from rubbing in gallons of sunscreen, but it would be doable.
#4 too much deck to swab

Now this and this is how I spent my last vacation. Sadly, I couldn't bring any of my own beer with me. Otherwise, pure heaven. But, I'd gladly trade you for #3 for a bit.
