@ryanmichaelcarter: What's your beer-packing process? One thing I always had trouble with as a new brewer was bottling my beer. In those days the common practice for home brewers was to soak empty beer bottles in sanitizer, then fill them with a little plastic bottle filler while they were still wet. I had no idea back then that most sanitizers are oxidizers. At this stage in beer production, oxygen is the worst enemy and rapidly reduces the quality of beer. After 11 years of homebrewing, my preferred method is to keg my beers. It’s super fast and much easier to do well compared to bottling or canning. Regardless of what method you choose, the process is pretty similar: 1. Rinse 2. Fill with carbon dioxide 3. Fill with beer 4. Seal The best practice is to only rinse with filtered water. If you do want to sanitize, diluting the solution and allowing them to completely dry is the safest route. Another thing that really helps prevent oxidation is to fill your cans all the way to the top and apply the lid on top of the foam. This helps push out any air that may be in the head space. For bottles, it’s best to leave a little head space and then hit it with a quick shot of carbon dioxide as you remove the filler. #homemadebeer #canningbeer #beerpackaging #asmr #oktobersl1 #oktobercanseamer #homebrewery
