Drinking Bombers and 750s

This topic actually comes up quite a bit. I don't have any friends, but I like to finish bottles... so it works out well. Don't put the bottle cap back on. As some have said, just buy a plain wine stopper. Do not buy a stopper that's a pump for taking the air out. In my experience, something like the below is best. You can get a novelty one for any perversion too.

 

I’ll use a rubber stopper if I have to, but honestly I’ve just stopped buying beers packaged like that. I hate the 22 oz format, and really don’t care for the 16 oz either, but if that’s the only way I can get it...so be it.

 

Very rarely do I finish them in a single sitting anymore.....back in the day, though....

Anyway, I gently pry the cap off, so as not to bend it, and recap it. Also, I've got a ton of bottle caps from when I bottled my homebrew - you can use those, too.

I finish the beer the next evening, so, typically 24 hours has elapsed. No flavor degradation. Maybe some very slightly reduced carbonation. But these are almost always stouts we're talking about.

I've found that champagne stoppers (like this Champagne Sealer Stopper https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DHJWP7C) work for most corked beer bottles.

 

I use one of these guys (Vacu Vin). Actually does a little vacuum action to minimize oxidation. Minimal carbonation loss which with these bigger bottle, bigger stouts isn't much of an issue anyway.
