homebrew stout!
right now i'm drinking....
home made porter.
Scotch, Lagavulin.
what kind of dirty hippie drinks beer out of a mason jar?
speaking of banjors, one of my buddies' girlfriends is learning how to make violins. I have requested a banjo.
a banjo aint a fiddle, city slicker.
...AND a quart mason jar is the perfect vessel for beer, wine, wiskey, sweet tea, etc...
will be trying to empty my keg of brown ale tonight so I can rack my lager.
Finishing off the last couple so I can go get something different...
The last time I drank booze out of a mason jar I ended up absofvckinglutely ****faced because my bastard friend gave me about 2/3 of a mason jar full of apple pie without telling me what it was.
Stone Double Bastard.
That stuff is tasty. I think I like Oaked Bastard a *little* better though.
Now I want some Bastard. Plus I'm low on beer. A store run is in order.

Green Man Best Bitter. 
Shocktop for the lady. 8 of them do the trick though...
A pint of my new APA, only bottled on Monday so the priming hasn't had full effect, but WOW!!
First beer that I'm actually really proud of..... And after having it flat I think this one would be awesome on a hand pump.

Too many oranges last night...
coffee...
Any of you kegging homebrewers bottle from your kegs?
I bottled 2 six packs last night so I could empty my keg and fill it with another beer.
I'm curious how long they'll last in the bottle before any oxygen in the bottle starts to affect the flavor...

These aren't bottled conditioned....
there is oxygen in the bottle before I put the beer into them....
Currently I'm drinking a VERY tasty home brewed pale ale.
I got a four pack (well, 3-pak now) of a kolsch I bottled from my keg. I added 2 carb tabs to each bottle JIC. I had one already after a month in the bottle & it was fine. I think the carb tabs changed the flavor profile a bit...not necessarily sweeter but thicker. I need to open another one to see how they are holding up.
if you bottle condition doesn't the yeast use the oxygen while it consumes the rest of the sugar, thereby removing the oxygen from the bottle?
I believe this is why they make/sell a product called a Beer Gun that allows one to bottle from a keg while at the same time removing the oxygen from the bottle....

The most common flavor associated with oxidized beer is 'wet cardboard'. I have 4.5 gallons of amber in my keezer if you want to stop by for a taste..
I used nottingham yeast, which it turns out, doesn't have the high quality that it once had. This caused my beer to have a three day lag time before it started to ferment. The oxygen I introduced to the wort is what caused the beer to become oxygenated.....
Fortunately , the beer isn't THAT bad tasting and I will no doubt drink the entire keg worth.
currently, I'm getting ready to fire up my beer bong and throw some Old Viscosity down the chute...

Singha at a Thai restaurant in Napa.
a Cayuga white wine from a local winery.
sweet tea
Morning joe. Not to be confused with morning wood.
Interesting. Hadn't considered that - it's a good point, the yeast will definitely consume some or all of the leftover oxygen but I have to wonder if this isn't at a point of diminishing returns here. I'm not the expert on this one for sure, but air is only about 20% oxygen, and a full bottle has a pretty small amount of dead space...
Oxygenation is one of those funny things, like autolysis, that's not really measurable. Just did a bunch of Google searches because you got me curious about it and there's a lot of hearsay but little that's more than that.
BadDNA, or someone else with commercial exposure? Want to chime in? Stability is a lot more important there...
