Home Brewing: How Controlled Oxidation Can Potentially Improve a Brew

Yesterday I opened the last bottle from my first batch of hōjicha mead that I made roughly a year ago.

To recap:

Batch No.070823 | ½gal🫙 1¾lb🐝 Honey: Sierra Wildflower Source: Sierra Nevada Mountains Brand: Kingsburg Honey Stg. 1: D-47 sub water for brewed Hōjicha (Numi) Stg. 2: aged sur lie 4 months

All my batch numbers are dates, so this one was started July 8th, 2023.

I use a variety of bottles when bottling. I have some 32oz bottles with polyseal lids intended for longer term storage. I have some swingtop bottles intended for shorter term storage. I'll usually pour the last inch of mead in my carboy into a mason jar along with the lees and cold crash and clear in the fridge for a while before siphoning out that very last ¾cup or so of mead with a stainless steel baster.

Sidenote: I do not recommend using a glass baster because they shatter way, way too easily. The glass is even thinner and more fragile than the glass in your lightest, most delicate champagne flute.

Something interesting I noticed is that the bottle I opened yesterday had a much stronger, smokier hōjicha flavor than my less securely sealed bottles of the same mead. It also tasted less sweet, and had less discernible honey character.

In controlled amounts oxidation can be advantageous for winemakers. It helps soften tannins and creates complex flavor profiles in wines such as Sherry or Madeira. The result is an [sic] full bodied sip that lingers on your palate

I took two containers of my newer batch of hōjicha mead with me during my trip to NYC, one 16oz swing top bottle, and one ½gal jug with a polyseal lid. Both containers got thrown about in my luggage. Although neither visibly leaked, the shaking most likely resulted in minor oxidization, with the swing-top getting the worst of it, as that bottle had a higher ratio of air to liquid when it was sealed.

The mead in the swing-top bottle didn't get over-oxygenated to the point of spoiling. It actually tasted quite nice. On the one hand, it lost a lot of the smoky hōjicha character. On the other hand, it had the strongest honey character and sweetest flavor of any of my bottles from that batch.

If I were running a more professional operation, I'd be able to calculate the exact right amount of oxygen exposure to achieve the perfect balance of smokiness and sweetness. Then again, it's nice to have a little variation and get a subtly different tasting experience every time I crack open a different bottle of the same brew.

Popular Trends in Modern Kitchens: What NYC Homeowners Love

New York is known for a lot of things, but the interior trends in the Big Apple are one of the most profound aspects of the city. Whether we are talking about the swanky architecture of the Upper East Side or the humble yet chic and industrial vibe of downtown Brooklyn, there’s a lot to experiment with when we talk about modern kitchens in NYC. If you are thinking about why you need a bespoke kitchen, let’s walk through a scenario.

You step into a sleek, contemporary kitchen with smart gadgets, and minimalistic, clean architecture. Before you even put down your grocery bags, you would be moved by the feel of the space and be motivated to cook your favorite meal. Sounds like a dream right? Well, in a city where space is at a premium and time is always ticking, having a custom kitchen feels like one of the most satisfying aspects of living. Want to design a modern kitchen and are looking for some inspiration?

Here are some of the latest trends you need to look into!

#1 Compact but High-Impact Storage Solutions

In NYC, where square footage is often limited, storage is always a massive concern for homeowners. With time, people have found creative ways to add more storage space into their kitchen without sacrificing the design, and you can do it too. Whether we are talking about pull-out pantries and built-in shelves to under cabinet storage systems, there are lots of elements that you can add.

#2 Bold Backsplashes and Statement Lighting

Who doesn’t want their home to look like it has come straight out of the vogue magazines? And if you think the same, bold backsplashes with intricate tile designs, bright hues, or patterned mosaics can be a great idea. In addition, you can also add statement lighting such as pendant lights or sculptural chandeliers to add flair to otherwise minimalist kitchens.

#3 Multipurpose Kitchen Islands: The Hub of Activity

In NYC kitchens, where space is often limited, the kitchen island has become a multitasking powerhouse. Homeowners are incorporating larger, more functional islands that serve as prep stations, dining areas, and even additional storage. Some islands now feature built-in appliances like wine coolers, dishwashers, or microwave drawers, making them a one-stop shop for all kitchen activities.

An excellent introduction to the greatest scam of the 20th century.

Years ago, ABC's 20/20 had some children painted some pairings and presented them to arts appraisers without telling them who the "artists" were. The result was hilarious as the appraisers went on and on about how sophisticated and valuable the paintings were! ++++++++++++++++++ Artificial manipulation of prices to cause speculation isn't exclusive to art. It happened in the early 17th century with tulip bulbs. More recently this craze found it's way to coins, baseball trading cards, beanie babies, and retro video games. A small group of curators decide the price. Then investors buy in hoping prices will continue to rise, further fueling the bubble. Almost none of these people are actually interested in the hobby itself. +++++++ Very interesting, although one sin of omission--you didn't mention that one of the most negative consequences of this racket is that art galleries and museums can't afford to compete for these paintings now, which means the general public can't see them. They disappear on to the walls of billionaires as conversation pieces and status symbols, or into their bank vaults to be seen by no one. +++++++ On the other end of the spectrum, small galleries in NYC, Chicago, SanFran, etc. they've been shutting down in droves over the last 20 years. Sometimes it's that the owner(s) get bored, or go broke. As an artist, you put your work up in those galleries, the show opens, people come and drink wine and socialize, your art is babysat for a month, then the gallery gives you your art back and it goes back into your storage unit or your mom's wall. This is the reality for most artists. The best solution for artists is to gift, sell to or trade with people you know, who want your work for this simple reason: they like your work for how it looks and how it makes them feel when they look at it.
