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 What do I do about beer coming out my airlock?
Bubbler rule # one: Never have the 'bug cover ' in place while active fermentation is happening. The risk is having to use the mop on the ceiling, hehe. The bug cover is the thing with the tiny holes in it that goes on the very top.

comment Airlock required for lagering or conditioning?
I seriously doubt the stopper would hold to the point of the carboy exploding, hehe. I could blow the stopper out of a tube, but doubt I could blow into a carboy and get it to explode!

comment What is the secondary fermentation debate?
In commercial brewing the fermentation tank is lightly pressurized with CO2 and the valve at the bottom of the fermenter is opened until the yeast is drained. So in effect, commercial brewers (at least the one I hang around at) DO remove yeast. They also transfer from fermenters to bright tanks. So I would say commercial (at least on the craft level) take steps to separate beer from yeast before packaging.

comment Aerating bottled apple juice for cider
Thanks Gustavo. I aerated by shaking (before I saw your answer). Maybe you could add to your answer, if you know what risks to flavor would appear with aeration. Or if aeration will not effect flavor in the final product.

But when the manufacturer pasturized, did they not remove all the oxygen?

Graham, Why he hops? Seems like you'd just want the long chain sugars to keep it from drying out too much, and hops might make it beer like.

Mine is allafrance and was $8. Right on at both ice and boiling, if used properly. Here's a video I did: youtube.com/watch?v=y3Megyi5Q_4
