SA Pumpkinator Release

Yup from Austin Homebrew!

 

In a blind test I couldn't tell you. Never tried it. I want to try this now.
It is the aluminum that I taste.
I don't drink canned items very ofter which is prob why it stands out to me. Maybe some are just accustom to it.

 

or maybe some believe in science instead of being blinded by an old wives tale.

beer cans have been lined since like the thirties. water epoxy linings prevent the beer from ever touching aluminum.

it's in your head, son.

 

I recommend drinking from a glass. The beer is in a lined can and shouldn't come in contact with the aluminum.

 

Want to swing through the heights to pick up that whole hog pumpkin and drop off a bit of wax? I really want to wax those pumpkinators ASAP and ordering won't get here till next week.

 

Just got an email that they are getting more on Saturday

 

until you pour it, then it touched all sorts of aluminum from the top of the can! {insert shocked face}.

 

I am hoping you are just joking, but aluminum aboslutely does not transfer flavor from pouring something over it. Many homebrewers use aluminum pots to brew in, and their beer has no aluminum flavor.

 

That's why I drink through a straw straight from the can.

 

I just dropped by casually at noon today and they are still available. This is the one by Highland Mall. I picked up an additional two bottles, and found no issues with the leaky cap. Out of the 8 pumpkinators I bought, one had the leaky cap problem. No beer actually leaked, but I was able to gently apply pressure to the cap with a finger to remove it vs prying it off. I consumed that one the same day I bought it. Imagine my dismay, having to drink one of my favorite seasonal stouts

 

Contact wouldn't impart flavors. If so, you wouldn't have to barrel age beers, you could just run the beer over them quickly.

And I assume you were just being sarcastic, but who knows...?

 

My wife once cooked a potato for me in aluminum foil... didn't taste like aluminum and I survived. Thought I was a goner given the contact between the deadly aluminum and my food. Told her next time to cook in glass foil just to be safe.

 

Aluminum does not corrode under normal atmospheric pressure or temperatures. Because of this property, it's ideal for storing beverages, etc. And the same statement could be said about glass: it does not corrode.

Corrosion is the breakdown of a material due to a "wearing away" of its molecular surface, often due to acidic or basic reactions. Iron rust, for instance, is a type of corrosion, though it also forms a protection against further corrosion. Same with silver tarnish.

Because aluminum does not corrode, it does not break down in this way. It does not "wear away" on a molecular level. Which means that a liquid (such a soda or beer) that you put into an aluminum can or allow to come into contact with aluminum will leave such a can unchanged in every way. Since no molecules are worn off of the can, there is no change whatsoever to the liquid that contacted it.

Any difference you perceive between canned and bottled beverages is either "in your head" or due to the bottle's glass allowing UV to skunk the beer. Meaning that the can is in fact a preferred receptacle for that purpose.

 

Sounds good, we can do it this weekend if you would like. I'll BM you soon

 

Boom. Science.

 

Nuh uh....

Seriously though, more canned Sculpin and Ten Fidy for me.

 

Hodor.

 

Picked up 2, I'll try one tonight. Last year it was around for 2-3 months in N Ft Worth so no hurry

 

Soooo... did Smith Street run out again? Just wondering.

 

Solution. Start aging/fermenting beers in can size wooden barrels.
Best way to convince people is to compare it to a keg and how everyone agrees that beer on draft is best of all.
