The Beer Thread

[ye-ole-hatch ıll|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

the more common approach of pouring the beer out of a regular tap, the beer is getting oxidized as it's going in... not good.  i wouldn't wait more than a week.  a big, dark beer like an RIS could probably stand 2 or 3 weeks, since some oxidation contributes to the style.  definitely keep it in the fridge.

I'm no expert...but this is good advice.  Since they are pouring it out of a tap, you get lots of that pesky oxygen in there.
And the 'seal' some guy screwing on a cap is not going to help much

and yes they must be drunk (as will you be) in one sitting
they will not last overnight

That is not true.  I had one that still had good carbonation after a week after opening.

  You get oxygen in there when you bottle your home brew.

I like how people are giving advice on the subject with no personal knowledge.  No one is saying I drank a growler 2 weeks after getting it and it was awful or how it was fine.  They are basically using no evidence of any kind to back up what they are saying.

Again...no expert, but when you add the yeast and let it bubble for a little while, then you fill a bottle.  There is some additional fermentation/conditioning that happens in the bottle
Once it's added to a keg and poured through a tap...you are not really getting any additional conditioning

Bought a Honey 21 Growler from Cap city (a very drinkable afternoon beer btw) and had 80% killed and left in the fridge sealed overnight.  Poured one the next afternoon and was flat as molly ringwald

Know more than Yada.  Your script must not be working.  You might want to go back to development on that one.

yup.  when bottling homebrew you do indeed expose your beer to oxygen and this isn't a great thing - this is why you want to bottle quickly, and not let the beer sit in your bottling bucket overnight.   because you're adding priming sugar before bottling you're reactivating the yeast - and the yeast will scrub most if not all of that oxygen (this is done inside the bottle, not out in the open). 

when you fill a bottle with homebrew, you are (or should be) using a bottling wand that fills from the bottom up - which is great for reducing splashing and how much beer gets aerated.  when filling a growler from a bar tap, you are slowly pouring the beer through the air.  it falls from the tap, into the bottle, then dribbles along the sides until it hit the bottom.  it ALL gets exposed to air.

once again, atomic front is wrong.

You are wrong.  I can't believe people on here are such idiots.  Well in the beer thread.  If I say the beer is fine and carbonated a month after getting I am not wrong.  You have evidence you get through conjecture.  I have real life experience.  Beer was fine after a month.   Oxygen gets in when you bottle home brew.  I don't use a wand.  My beer tastes great.  But who cares you have your opinion based on nothing.  I have actual experience.  If you drank beer after a month and it was flat or skuny please say as much otherwise you are just talking out your azz.  But what do I expect you were trolling 6 years ago and you are trolling now. 

You must get beaten up a lot of you act like this in real life.  I mean someone says the beer was fine after a month after sitting in the fridge and you say the person is wrong.  I am guessing you are real fun at parties.

Clearly the only way to solve this debate is for everybody to send me beer.
