I've been homebrewing for a little over two years now. I bottle, and that isn't likely to change due to living in an apartment. The lights in my kitchen are fluorescent, and I wondered whether this could damage my beer during the actual bottling process, due to having glass carboys and clear siphon tubing. I've searched around the internet for the past hour and couldn't really find much info whether beer can become lightstruck during the bottling process. I would think that the duration is long enough, because it generally takes me probably a good 10-20 minutes before I siphon all the beer into a bottling bucket. Although I have never noticed a skunking taste per se, would my beer likely taste better if I used a red light instead during bottling? It seems that red light is outside the nm range of light frequencies that potentially damage beer.
Thanks and cheers!
