The bro in law has this issue every time!
Haven't encountered that, although, to be fair, I fart loads anyway.
Now you have something to blame it on and science to back it up, if there are complaints.!!!

Haven't got around to bottling my boxing day Brew, just giving the yeast some extra time to clean up.
My wine surprisingly still has a Krausen......so hopefully it calms down so I can add in the stabilisers etc.

Stella....! Steeelllaaaa!!
Yum, delicious, yum. ( As was the French chick bottling her pilsner at the same time I was bottling my lager
).
Bright, clear, with a little bit of a bitter tone, little bit of a crisp dry finish and a nice fresh after taste that gives you a little honey, sweet end. Not overly hoppy, but a classic lager style. Light and easy to drink. I can see these being quite an easy summer smasher.

I've been doing mine as above ( Cisco Kid = Sierra Nevada Pale and Interstellar = Stella Artois ) at U Brew It at Kilburn.
It's cracking good fun and even better beer!
What are you looking at doing? ( PS - Read back through this thread for some of my tales )

$180 for 50lt which = 6 cartons. Plus $50 for your first batch of bottles, which can obviously be reused. If you keep your own bottles ( pop tops only ) you can save the $50. But for $50, 150 brand new bottles, why would you?
So first lot is $230 for 6 cartons of 330ml stubbies, after that it's $180 for most of the range. The boutique beers and ciders are $220 per 6 cartons, I think.
I'm going tomorrow to lay down a Golden Ale.

That's why I can say it. I'm not ashamed of my love and commitment to water with some added extras

Tonight will be getting into some blondes that were bottled in September.
However if it cools down, I might continue with the Coopers Euro Lager
