So, I took a hydrometer reading on a batch of cream ale, and tasted a mouthful of diacetyl. SWMBO tasted it and said, "MMM POPCORN." She liked it. I didn't.
So, I decided to take my carboy full of beer out of the swamp cooler in the closet and put it in my dining room under the thermostat so I could get the temp up for a diacetyl rest. I instinctively put a black t-shirt over my baby to protect her from the sunlight coming in the windows. SWMBO says, "how cute, it looks like you." Then she says, "why are you putting your t-shirts over your beer?"
So, I explain to her why beer bottles are brown. And her response is, "why aren't carboys brown?"
Damn good question. Don't know why I never thought to ask! So, where are the brown carboys?
