I drink half a beer from a bottle, is there a way to keep the remainder
reasonably fresh for the next day? I don't like wasting it if I don't have
to.

Thanks for any tips.

1st Tip: If you don't drink the entire bottle, don't bother to drink beer;
2nd Tip: Buy them big quarts with the screw tops. Be sure to screw the top
back on.

Use the leftover beer to cook pinto beans. You won't be sorry.

Now those are some dedicated **and ingenious** drinkers! Even more so
if they regulated the controls so the beer is not too cold. The
standard 'fridge 40=B0F robs beer of some of its flavor, imho.

Speaking of beer: Oh, yes, 99% of the time, I drink the entire bottle. The
other 1% I share with my husband.

But I'm posting to say that at this very moment I am drinking a new beer for
the first time. Now, I'm normally a Guinness gal, but a friend/co-worker
brought me back samples of different beers and today I'm sampling "Abbaye de
Leffe" Blond, a Belgian strong beer with 6.6% alcohol. I must say that it
is GREAT! I could get used to this.

He also brought me a Danish one (Tuborg Gold Label Beer -- 5% alcohol) & a
Polish one (Zywiec -- 5.5 % alcohol & the bottle is 500 ml vs. 330 ml for
the other two). Haven't sampled those yet.

Cork it?
Or use a soda pump.
They have a pump cap now where you can put a cap on it and pump pressure
into a bottle to prevent anymore "flattening" of the carbonated product.

I'm not sure. I've only tried it with pintos. I use the dried ones. I
start them as usual, but when it's time to add more water, I dump in a can
of beer instead. I don't recall how I season it. Changes from batch to
batch, but you want salt, pepper, maybe a bay leaf. Whatever floats your
boat.

I cook them until they're soft, but still look like beans, and I serve them
with shredded cheddar on top. Magnificent!

Bottled is never fresh. Bottling is a form of food preserving.
Preserved food is not ever fresh... bottled/canned beer is not fresh.
Very likey you've never tasted freshly brewed beer and probably never
will. These days unless one brews their own beer very few will ever
know how freshly brewed beer is supposed to taste... probably less then
99.99% of the world population will ever taste freshly brewed. I don't
care how much you pay for beer or where it comes from, if it's
bottled/canned it's crap, beer does not improve with age in a bottle,
no way, if it's in a bottle it's no different than stupidmarket Bud...
and if you paid some outrageous price you're simply an ass.

If that keg wasn't wood they wasted their time... any beer from an
aluminum keg is no different from canned, no different whatsever.

The only beer I've ever actually enjoyed was made by a friend who grew his
own grains and everything. Damn, it was good!

I'm not sure that quality was their main concern. They're both alcoholics.

Those don't work. Pumping air into the bottle won't hold the CO2 in
solution. If you want a scientific explanation of why not, look up
"partial pressures".

Actually, I think the whole concept of diffusion might explain it.....

I have a big CO2 tank on my aquarium (to feed the plants) and I use it
to repressurize 2-liter bottles of pop that have gone flat, or to make
my own selzer. I put a truck tire stem in the top of a screw-on bottle
cap, and made a CO2 hose with a tire chuck on the end. I usually
pressurize to about 50 or 60 psi.

Best regards,
Bob

Why not just buy the splits, those little half sized beers. They don't sell
them here in Ontario but they do in NY.

try beemis or madison wi micro brews they are a nice drink.
Also a pale pale ale from Czechoslovacia is great

Cool!

I actually own a small seltzer bottle and have a couple of boxes of
charges for it.

It's neat because you can carbonate _anything_ with it!

Sounds good. I like using beer in chili or to flavor nacho meat.
Brown the beef or chicken with onion, poblanos, and garlic, add chili
powders (your favorite blend) and cumin, tomato sauce, and beer. Cook
until the liquid has evaporated. Turns out pretty well - and that's
what our Super Bowl menu will be!

There is a thing called a "kegerator" that TFM and I have been looking into
buying. I've alreadt]y converted old refrigerators, but, since the keg is
wider than a standard fridge, you have to rip out the insulation which makes
the cooling less effective and your electricity goes up. A kegerator is a
small fridge specifically designed for a keg, with a tapper handle on the
top.

Oh-oh, this post made me sound like the lush that I am. :~)

Hardly.

Do you guys homebrew? I have a friend who's had as many as 16 brews
on tap in his home tavern. He buys only the best equipment and here's
his choice:

My friend now uses his for away events so it sees much hard use.

I've made a few batches of homebrew in the past, but it's a hell of a lot of
work and expense, IMO. Plus if you don't sterilize everything properly,
your whole batch goes to shit. I've had that happen before too. Maybe I
don't have the patience, maybe my ex-husband didn't have the patience, I
dunno. In all honesty, we wouldn't have the space here in the house to
store the brew, as it is, in primary fermentation stage in the carboy.
We're sadly lacking in any kind of closet space. That being said, I'd still
try to give it a go-round again, if I could afford the initial equipment.
The husband this time around is much nicer. <g>

yup. It's right out on the porch. used it for about 2 years. I have 3
CO2 tanks. Something's whacked with the regulator but I have another
one of those too. And before ya go getting all worked up, I didn't
say that I'd give it away but I'm sure we could agree on a reasonable
cost. I forget where I got it but it's pretty much the same as the
one that notbob posted except mine doesn't have the door lock or

Canned and bottled beer is pasteurized...keg beer is not....wooden
kegs haven't been used for beer in over fifty years...too expensive as
they could be used only once.
