Something Missing?

[bantamite]

Something was missing, ah, I know, running low on homebrew. So started on my second batch. Tom Caxton kit. Since first one (well, 1st for 40yrs) I have learnt that dark bottles are better than clear ones apparently? So I have unselfishly quaffed a few pints of Adnam's Broadside, only for the dark bottles you understand, it was my duty. :drink:

I know not the difference, just following recommendations. Anyway the excuse for some Adnam's Broadside was welcome.

I believe it's something to do with the light affecting the taste of the beer, darker bottles let less light through.

now't wrong with clear bottles, if you wrap them in brown paper or newspaper. Look real classy on the beer shelf..

Actually for the time that most homebrew is allowed to remain in the bottle you could use any colour, and it would not be affected unless you left it where full sun was shining on it....

But bottles are bottles.....I guess i'm just lucky that most of my favourite commercial beers come in brown bottles.
