Freshness recapping question

a day or so, cause of the headspace. just go back to sleep till noon.

 

If you need a drink that bad you may need help that we can't provide you.

 

It may be flat after a few hours, but I've used wine stoppers in bottles before and had carbonation the next night. It's a gamble regardless, but my experience has been 24 hours at the most. You would have better results opening a bomber and pouring it gently (through a small funnel into a tube to fill from the bottom up would be ideal, but I've never tried it and am not sure if there would be enough pressure for this to work) into a 12oz bottle almost all the way to the top, then capping and drinking what's left.

 

Having a beer will alleviate the headache?

 

Hair of the dog, as they say

 

When I'm hungover the thought of booze disgusts me so much, I don't know how people do it.

 

Dont open it

 

If you use it to wash down aspirin, it will.

^^^^^^^^^

 

Why would you open it if you don't want to have it yet? Just drink the m-fer!

 

If you set the foundation with a Bloody Mary or two it goes a lot smoother.

 

You force it down because you know you'll feel better after you've had a drink or make a michelada cubana to mask the booze. Very few times it makes you just feel worse if your liver is at it limits but it makes you puke and then you feel better so either way you end up better haha

 

Though I have a capper, I never use it for recapping. I use this style of bottle opener: http://tinyurl.com/6vkdzao

If done properly, you can remove a cap without causing a single bit of damage. I always pop the cap back on after a pour. If I can't finish it, it stays in the fridge, and I drink it in the next day or so. I've noticed not much, if any change in carbonation when done that way.

There was a time when I popped the cap back on a beer, didn't finish the rest, and my girlfriend moved it to the back of the fridge where I forgot about it for months. When I was cleaning out the fridge, I found it, and proceeded to open it and dump it. To my surprise, it made a pronounced hiss when I pulled the cap off. For shits and giggles, I poured it into a glass. Sure enough, it had remained carbonated...not quite as much so as it was when I originally opened it, but a nice finger of head formed, and it was nowhere near flat. So, I drank it, months later, and still enjoyed it. I'd never intentionally leave a partially drank and recapped beer in the fridge for that long, but because of my accidental experiment, I don't fear leaving a bottle with the cap popped back on for a few days, so take that for whatever it's worth. lol

 

What if the beer was a really big stout? like a BCS or CBS?

Say you opened a bomber 2 weeks ago, had a glass and put a wine cork in the bottle within minutes of opening. The beers are mildly carbonated as it is. hm...

 

There's only one good way to tell. Try it. One person's method may not work for another if they don't do it the same way so any advice you get may not work for you.

 

Having enough beer with alleviate anything.
