Engineer by degree, but I code for a living. Recently switched to using a tablet for leisure internet, like this site, but the on-screen keyboard is horrible, so please forgive my missing letters and things!

comment Modifying flavors during bottling?
When I read "sourness has almost disappeared", I was thinking the bit of aging cleaned-up the sour apple (acetaldehyde) of the 'green' beer.

comment Can the final gravity be multiplied by the ratio of beer to water?
If I HAD more beer! It was quite stupid of me, but I only realized it after I sealed the last bottle. But glad to know the idea in the question is valid. BTW, I do chunk the hydrometer reading with temp into Dave's dreaded calculator to normalize for temperature, and have gently weighted my hydrometer and tested with distilled water.

comment Are plastic fizzy-drink bottles an acceptable substitute for glass bottles?
If you wonder if the cap is leaking, you can take a balloon and stretch it over the whole cap and neck. I have re-used the caps that came on 3 liter soda bottles well. Other 38mm caps fit, but can't always be counted upon. Polyseal caps have also been reliable for me.

comment Force “bubblifying” with something other than CO2
I've poured sweetened/cooled heavy cream in to a whipped cream charger that used nitrous oxide, and also made the same recipe by just putting the same heavy cream in a bowl and beating it with the mixer. Tastes the same.

All those laws are only applicable if the intent is to inhale it. Using nitrous oxide in beer is no more illegal than canned whipped cream.
