Sounds good Slid! Yeah the Main offices are right next to the center right? Lovely location, close to everything. Actually, beer-wise a lot has changed since then. Back then all you could get was specialty beers from Belgium. There were few bars with a good selection of beers. However, a few...

Which exactly why sealing the barrel as good as humanly possible is necessary. As long as the barrel is sealed then the only way in and out is through the air lock and you're CO2 blanket is maintained. If the barrel leaks air then air simply mixes in.

Nope, more like Science, Nature and The Lancet :).

Yeah those buckets do not seal well. Now I understand why you would even consider cling foil. Better to use something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plastic-Barrel-with-Screw-Cap-Lid-Ideal-for-Food-Storage-Fermentation-5l-65l-/253316638283 One lid with a rubber ring in it which you push on...

No you shouldn't take advice from any instance to get the best information. If you want to know the most correct information you should read as many articles as possible from peer reviewed journals.

Stink (to remain in the same category :) )

I'm not quite sure what you guys are trying to proof with cling foil. I have done fermentations completely without a lid and with a kitchen towel and rubber band ;). Risk of contamination wouldn't be something I'd ever worry about when the barrel is inside a cabinet.

I understood, sorry I was unclear. My reply is that even without a lid the chance on a contamination is minimal when you're fermentation vessel itself is in a clean sealed environment (the fridge). So with cling foil I wouldn't worry either. But there are other concerns such as oxidation.

I would mostly be worried about oxidation. I'd say the risk of a contamination is minimal even without the lid if it is in a sealed fermentation fridge. But why would you even bother with sealing it up if your using cling foil.

Yes because the real answer is awful for most people because it is so little. There has been a lot of research in this subject. And the amounts of alcohol an average person can consume without health problems is simply far lower than any accepted daily alcohol intake in Europe. Sorry, I wish it...

Must be quite exciting to know of a conspiracy that most people don't or don't dare to say ;).

I hope I wasn't offending you in any way? That definitely was not the intent. I am often quite fiery in discussions and I don't master the English language in all its subtleties. Not a lot of head space for you btw! Never a problem with Belgian styles? I was always given the advice to reserve...

You miss my point. Its not about what they voted for. It doesn't matter one bit. Just like it doesn't matter whatever the UK voted for Brexit. It's about the ideas themselves. Not the exact amount of people that follow them. The point was this: Which are two opposing views which seem to exist...

Honestly, I really don't know. From this post I take that you completely seal of the vessel when you cold crash? No air lock on it? I have no idea how long it would take for any gas to diffuse into the young beer to saturate it completely. My field is chemistry and I am not well versed into...

Foreign influences affect a lot. The current IPA (atleast the citrus explotion which a lot of people want) comes from America. Your notion about higher percentage beers? That comes from the continent. One of the things I like about the UK is the availability of lower percentage specialty beers...

So basically you believe that the left is an evil conspiracy? If you specifically want to discuss dangers. I don't think the real danger is left or right. But people who just refuse to think. People who do not really have an ideology but just blindly scream whatever their guts tells them...

If the capacity to absorb gasses increases why do you think it will not just take up some of the gasses in the FV.

Yeah I couldn't find it either. It probably was in German which I don't speak. I mailed one of the guys who read and discussed it at the Dutch forum. Maybe he knows where to find it or has it.
