Perfect thanks. That's what I like to hear 😂

Very random, I just want to know peoples thoughts on this. So the reason it's crossed my mind is I'm making a kegerator and I was thinking above how much O² Evabarrier beer line might diffuse if the beer is left in the beer line between the keg / tap on beers which aren't poured that...

Seeing at this has been rebooted here is my very arbitrary methods for BIAB. Plus other make shift methodology.

For a friend's wedding. He's a bit of a wet wipe and enjoys lager with lemonade hence the recommendation of the lemonade. I will not be drinking this with lemonade 🤣

Apologies. I thought storage data may help with understanding hops would deal with these conditions. You are correct this isn't specifically storage related.

Yeah those bags are collecting CO², they are complete sucked then sealed so no air before going however just to be doubly sure I allow them to fill so the tubes are also purged then flatten again.

Sorry when I say air tight I mean sealed SS Fermenter with a blow off tube and CO2 capture. (See picture) My hypothetical idea is to allow fermentation to start. Open up put the bags with hops on with the magnets on the outside and inside the bags. Hopefully as fermentation has started the O2...

In a hypothetical scenario of hanging hop pellets in bags after initial fermentation starts in an air tight fermenter until released when dry hopping then yes I believe they could. But I'm wondering if the CO² rich environment would negate the warmer humid effects of fermentation.

Obviously we all know flushed vacuum sealed hops will last a long while in the freezer and conversely hops stored at ambient temperatures in oxygen rich environments i.e air will stale pretty swiftly, some say 2 weeks however I believe it's much shorter. Does anyone know how hops deal with a...

This more to stop any cold side oxygenation and flavour / aroma changes to styles such as NEIPAs. I don't think I'm likely to get into the LODO just yet on the hotside.

Thought I'd just update. I decided to to buy a stainless steel bulkhead with barbs and stainless washers + Viton washers to remove the need for a bung! For the silicone seal inside I got some quotes for FDA Nitrile and Viton to replace the lid gasket this was looking to be anywhere between...

Okay I'm probably taking this a bit far but I love a bodge. It's in its early conceptual phase but I'm thinking about the bung being silicone (1 I'll probably update this rubber at some point although that's still not very good) is covering the bung in a boiled SMB deoxygenated solution. It...

Didn't even think of the lid gasket tbh. Yeah probably silicone

No I am not fermenting out of those things unfortunately. I've got a stainless fermenter with clips on the side to seal the lid but it was provided with a silicone bung which in my mind defeats the point in the seal lid! I've read natural rubber as a material is better than silicone and quite...

My question is if they know that silicone is rubbish for the specific task why do they continue to use it? Is it that much cheaper than anything else?
