How long will you be keeping it in the bottle, before you pour it down your neck, and end up a sodden mess?
Started my cider in the polybin this week. Just getting bottles now. We've recycling bins at my apartment block, so I'll just hoick them out of there.

You can't re cap all bottles, so be a bit choosy.

(Bazongaloid, Fri 20 Apr 2012, 10:13, Reply)

Why is that? Because of damage when removing the cap?

No twist bottles, and only standard size.
Brown and green are the best, because light can damage the beer. Although, sticking it in a cupboard also helps.

Yeah I made a spiced beetroot wine once, in a brown demijohn, and it came out a lovely ruby colour.
The nest lot, the light got to it, and it was a grubby brown colour. Still tasted ok, just wank to look at.

I just looked up a recipe for that,
said it needs over a year racked?

it's a cunt trying to get a crown cap on a cupboard, though.

No, it's to do with the neck of the bottle.
If you are using a crown capper you need the neck to be of a certain type or the capper can't grip it properly to push the cap on.

The thing says 2-3 weeks for the best flavour but they'll be ready in a week.
They say the flavour improves as the CO2 bubbles get smaller, but that sounds like shit to me.

Large CO2 bubbles taste horrible
Everyone knows that.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 20 Apr 2012, 10:16, Reply)

It's sort of shit and sort of not.
the bubbles get smaller with increased pressure, which comes from more CO2 from a longer bottle ferment, which changes the solubility equilibrium of the CO2:carbonic acid, so changes the flavour.

However, there aren't really that many bubbles until you actually open the bottle, at which point it's at AP and so all bubbles are more or less the same size.

No, cobra is brewed wth smaller bubbles to make it easier to drink with curry.

yes. yes, it is.
Pressure/vapour/liquid equilibria are completely invalidated by Cobra. It's magic.

The bubbles are snake shaped.

(PsychoChomp, Fri 20 Apr 2012, 10:22, Reply)

cobra has smaller bubbles - 104 million
cobra doesn't have smaller bubbles - 28.1 million

You are only 27% correct, or to put it another way, you are over two thirds wrong.

I'll take scientific fact over the opinions of 100 million fucktards

You should check all those 104million results
