@Clayton That’s a very good question…Like I told Brad…I think the 5-10 seconds is more for beers that have a very high hops content (it’s the oil from the hops that is sensitive to light). I would also say it’s that the skunk process starts in 5-10 seconds.

From my experience I’ve never had a beer skunk that fast…but I have had some New Castle turn cat’s piss (I love that term) with only about 30 minutes of light exposure.

Although florescent and incandescent can cause skunking…sunlight is the worst. So I would say to avoid direct exposure to sunlight as much as possible.

Wait, I have a question…

How am I supposed to pour a beer into a glass and not let it get skunky in light?

yeah I read an article on that from a beer expert…but I don’t know how much I buy the time frame. It might be with just certain beers…I would think the more hops in the beer, the more likely that is.

Wow, only 5-10 seconds in light can change the flavor? I didn't know that. Brad Ruggless last blog post..When Good Intentions Lead To Bad Decisions
