This is very interesting. 👍 I didn't actually include a regular headspace bottle in my experiment. It'll interesting to see after 6 weeks how the No SMB bottle compares to the various quantity and delivery method SMB bottles. May I ask what quantity of SMB in grams you used per litre? And how...

I'm drinking my newly brewed day 20 conditioned 1 day in the fridge Triple New England IPA I call it "TRIPA-ING BALLS!" because of the 10% ABV. Juicy and smashable!

Hello Oxidation Fans 🤣, This is a 0.01g SMB bottle day 20 conditioned and 1 day in the fridge. We are so close on the carbonation front (the picture was about 1 min after pouring). Couple more days and I think we are golden! I think the way I've bottled these (to the top ~3-7mm) means when you...

Okay I'm a little sad, not through oxidation but through a loss of smell and little loss of flavour...no longer amazing more like really good. However I think I served it too cold (6C) as it warmed it got better. This bottle was 17 days 1 day in the fridge. 1ml SMB (0.0075g/ML).

Only in 500ml bottle unfortunately 🤣 soft Southerner here!

So it has been 15 days since bottling, however I put this in the fridge yesterday (14 days) for my friend to have a sample in the sun. This is the second (and last) PET bottle I pulled but the colour looks alright. This is a 3ml solution of SMB (0.0075g/ml) bottle which was crushed to fill to...

More true to the colour. 10% beers **** me up....such a lightweight.

Day 10, 1 day in the fridge. This bottle was a 0.01g dry SMB bottle. Again sorry, I'm ***** at taking photos! More Carbonation prickliness on the tongue but no hiss and head formation. Colour hasn't changed since my last one IMO. Taste is amazing smell is subtle but amazing I'm hoping this bad...

Definitely however this is about to track it all! I'm happy to crack a few early to show the progress! This one was an 1ml SMB solution bottle no carbonation whatsoever however I'm thinking of lifting the condition temp to 22c.

No headspace may be effecting the carbing of the bottles! Darker but mostly because of the lighting, taste is there, but come on damn and carb!

I did two PET bottle (1 of which is shown in that picture) to monitor carbonation and then I'll open one glass bottle check for carbonation 🤞it's right then I'll fridge them all at 2C until I drink them. Batch size is 13L due to many many many many mishaps along the brewday 🤣.

I know 100% oxygen made way into the bottles due dry hopping twice in bags and then during bottling despite using a bottling wand direct from the primary. However I'm experimenting with various methods of reducing oxygen exposure. I.e. filling the bottles to very little headspace, using SMB in...

Okay so I've made a Triple 10% New England IPA BIAB as my second brew ever. I know I know I went in at the deep end but go big or go home! I just thought I would keep a record of any change in colour and oxidation on here and if you're interested just follow along. Ask me any questions! The...
