I find that the rubber gasket on the swing top doesn’t hold a reliable seal when you’re trying to bottle-condition over a longer period of time. The seal doesn’t ‘fail’ per se, but the final product is a bit flat by comparison to that which is stored in bottles with metal caps

Swingtops are good for some ales and lagers, but do not hold a reliable seal for bottle-conditioning and secondary fermentation.

The spent grains …
The spent grains and yeast are incredibly high in vitamins. It’s what the Aussies use to make vegemite. You could also add them to the bread dough for a darker bread flavor, I imagine.

baking the bread …
baking the bread kills the yeast. bread is made from wheat, beer is made from barley, barley has an enzyme which allows yeast to ferment the grain.

The amount CO2 that …
The amount CO2 that is released through the whole process of brewing is the same amount that is released if you would make bread out of the products.
All products that is in bear or any kind of “burn-able” material releases the same amount of CO2 what ever you do to it, in a long-time perspective.

Im not positive, but I believe the beer only has to be about 95% organic. Hops, I also have heard usually account for that5 %. I’ve read that there are plenty of places that you can find organic grains. A good certified organic beer is Wolavers from the Otter Creek brewing company.

How can beer be …
How can beer be organic? I have been brewing for years and I know one thing beer can’t be certified organic. We have tried to label it on our brew and the state won’t let us. It is in the same classifaction as honey. All land that produces the products in the end product must be organic. The barley is ususally from commerical growers which use non organic fertilizers and pestisides. Hops are often treated with non organic sytemic pesitsides and fungicides.

Sort of a waste to see as a homebrewer, but it is a good clip for those who are still stuck on a mass-brew & are looking for change.

Good quick intro to ingredients in homebrew.

I agree they played up the whole “save the world” thing a little too much.
