Which container protects your beer best from oxygen? PET bottles, glass, kegs or cans

- John Dalton (1766-1844) was a British physicist and chemist. He introduced the concept of atomic weight but is perhaps best known for formulating Dalton's law: "The partial pressure of any gas in a mixture of gases is equal to the pressure that it would exert if it occupied the entire space alone. The sum of the partial pressures of all the components in the mixture equals the total pressure of the mixture." In other words, each gas spreads uniformly in space regardless of the presence of other gas molecules - "light" and "heavy" gases mix uniformly and not in layers. Liquids will layer, but gasses wont.
And when a molecule can just float through and o-ring, it will! It's a law of science. And it doesn't really matter that the keg, glass bottle or PET bottle is under pressure.
In this video, I'll be diving into the world of beer containers and exploring which one does the best job of keeping oxygen at bay. Whether you're a homebrewer or just a beer enthusiast, this is a topic you won't want to miss.
I'll be breaking down the pros and cons of each container, including PET bottles, glass, kegs, and cans. We'll discuss their oxygen permeability, durability, portability, and overall impact on the taste and freshness of your beloved brew.
By the end of this video, you'll have a clear understanding of which container is the ultimate defender against the dreaded oxygen. So, if you're tired of your beer losing its freshness or if you simply want to up your brewing game, this video is for you.

the only issue with canning from a home brewing perspective is the very high cost of entry.
Yes, it’s more expensive… This hobby is all about compromise between the perfect setup and what you want to pay for it… and how much space you got 😉
Thanks, I didn't think about the swing caps being as permeable but makes sense 🍻🍺
You're welcome :)
I almost jumped over this one because of the error in the thumbnail. :)
Ah, I just saw that now. I’ll correct it 😉
I got some of the mini kegs from Kegland. Some kind of PET that reduces permeability, but still not as good as the metal kegs. Really the only advantage is more fit in a kegerator. Wouldn't recommend.
Thanks, for that info 😊
The best way to prevent oxidation is to drink beer. Most beers are best when they're fresh. Edit: I do appreciate you spreading knowledge about Dalton's law. If you want to control oxidation, it is very difficult to excude O2 because of the tendency for gasses to flow from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This happens regardless of the pressure differential, as you said. I am planning on getting some of those yellow keg rings in my next equipment order. They are available in Canada as well.
Where have you found them? I am in Montreal and have not seen them yet. Thanks
You’re right! Drink the beer and we have no problems 🤣🤣

I keep trying to answer coolbreeze's question but I don't see my comments appearing. @@Beerstories
