Hops are not the chemically inert ingredient many brewers assumed, study finds.

I’ve never had an issue yet and most of my beers are dry hopped. 

If I’m dry hopping a pale, most of the time I’m going to drink pretty fresh so as to eliminate time in the bottle and therefore time to break down.

no bombs yet.

I don’t think I’d ever pasteurise a beer. Maybe filter but not heat.

Unfortunately filtering yeast is only an option for those that keg their beer & use C02 to carbonate. With bottled stock you need the yeast to carbonate the beer to a certain level before you end their lives.

S-04 wasn't it?

Got it in one  I'm happy to use it again now that I'm kegging though as bombs aren't an issue. It was a great fit for that porter recipe.

Unless I keg carbonate then bottle. ?

I then put you in the 'weird' category. 

But seriously, some faff around with counter pressure bottle fillers & fill their home brewed beer from kegs into bottles when they go out to parties & BBQ's etc. but I generally just buy some commercial beer when I go out.

I usually buy beer when going somewhere too but I do like the idea of a kegsky with a half size keg in it and tap. One day I might get around to it, already got the half size keg, just need an Esky and another gas reg and tap and cylinder...

Or....   

 

[Otto Von Blotto]

That too. Haha. It's not something high in the priority list though, we don't go to many parties, most of the get togethers happen at our place.

[The Captain!!]

When I eventually do keg, maybe September next year or maybe Xmas. I will still do the same size batches and just bottle the last few litres. 

One to take to others or give away. 

But the whole party keg thing does look good. 

After I get my keg set up then I may consider filtering. 

[Otto Von Blotto]

I do that, except the surplus 5 litres or so from two separate batches goes into the 10L keg, creating a sort of third batch from the blend. I need to get a bottle capper happening though so I can make 25 litre lager batches and bottle the surplus from them.
