Why the beer tastes flat?
when its always in and out of a fridge before consuming it
Answers:
I had asked this question at school one day. This question led to an experiment. The results that we found was that the carbination that the beer contained was greatly affected by temperature. Generally speaking, the higher the temp, the more pressure that the can had. When cooled, the lower the pressure. By taking the beer in and out of the fridge, you are causing the carbination in the beer to be relaesed out of the liquid and into the can. Unfortunately, the beer doesn't have the ability to put this carb. back into the liquid itself, causing the beer to taste flat after only a few times of rapid temperature changes. Also, beer contains yeast, which is one of the main causes of the carbination. Yeast produces CO2 bubbles (the thing that gives beer the non-flat taste) By taking the beer to a warmer climate, this yeast is broken down over time. Without yeast, the beer would taste flat. This is why you see a born on date on most beers. This gives the consumer a date to go by when judging the time that the yeast has been active. By staying in cooler temps, the breakdown of the yeast is slowed almost to a standstill. Yeast is only highly active in warm climates, normally around room temperature.
Was it opend when in and out of the fridge?
I know what you mean sometimes you just get one that is
flat - check the expiration date.
The ingredients in beer are sensitive to both lighting and temperature changes. I would recommend that you keep it in the fridge until you are ready to drink it, and if you choose not to refrigerate it, then at least keep it in a cupboard or pantry so it is not exposed to too much light.
You may also want to check the expiration date, as you may have just purchased some old beer.
the bubbles are gone, like soda sitting out without a lid.
