Hack No 1: Flat Fizz It's easily done: you open a bottle of fizz, enjoy a glass, pop it back into the fridge and leave it a little too long. When you remember it, hours or even days later, it's lacking the all important fizz. Should you chuck it away?Absolutely not! There's a simple solution. A raisin. Pour a glass of the sparkle-less wine, pop in one dried raisin. The carbon dioxide that still resides in the wine will attach itself to the raisinand then be released back into the wine. Abracadabra! Your fizzis fizzy once more!
Hack No 2:Not Enough Flutes It's too late to rush out for more glasses: What should you do? Just getyour other glassware involved and demonstrate your sparkling wine knowledge. You see, flutes are ideal for making the most of the bubbles, so highlight the "mousse"in the sparkling wine for your guests with flutes. For your friends who appreciate their wine on the next level, give them glasses with broader rims which enhance thearoma and flavour without fussing with the fizz. For your glamorous friends who love a co*cktail serve them Prosecco in a co*cktail glass so that they can appreciate their elegant silhouette!
Hack No 3: Your Sparkling Wine Isn't Chilled Oh No! The bottle is a little too warm and the guests will be arriving shortly! OK, no problem, just soaka tea towelin and wrap it around the bottle. Pop it in the freezer and wait for 10 to 15 minutes as the cloth freezes onto the bottle, and speedsup the chilling of the wine.If you have an ice bucket, fillhalf of the bucket with ice, add cold water and a few heaped teaspoons of salt. The salt lowers the freezing point of the water, so it can get colder without freezing. Give your bottle a little turn every few minutes to speed up the cooling process.
Hack No 4:You've Lost Your Stopper You've had a good rummage through the drawer but someone's run off with your wine bottle stopper!Here's a neat trick: popa spoon in your open bottle handle down andleave it in the fridge. When you fancy a Bucks Fizz in themorning, your sparkler will still be sparkly.
Hack No 5:Pop And Save When opening your bottle of bubbly, remove the metal cage with care and drape a tea towel over the cork. Hold the bottle nice and tightby the base with one hand, point it away from youand grip the cork which issafely under the tea towel – twist slowly off until you hear that tell-tale pop. Your Prosecco won't soak the floor and the dog won't jump out of it's skin!
The gas comes out of solution and forms bubbles that rise to the top and can sometimes cause the can to fizz over. All that's true, but according to a chemist at Trent University in Canada, tapping your soda can really does work to keep it from fizzing over.
In the process of creating kombucha, the brew sits at room temperature. This allows live yeast to feast on the sugar used to sweeten the tea and feed these live little creatures. As the yeast eats the sugar, it creates carbon dioxide bubbles which then create that familiar bubbly sensation in your kombucha.
As temperatures soar, the gases inside the beverage container expand, creating higher pressure. This heightened pressure can push the carbon dioxide out of the liquid, further accelerating the loss of carbonation. It's like a tiny, invisible force working against the fizziness we know and love.
Fermented products in general are good for the microbiome and gut health. Fermentation makes probiotics which help with diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and they may even strengthen your immune system. When kombucha is made from green tea, you get its benefits, too.
It is edible, though — it is a bit rubbery and has the texture of slightly over-cooked squid. There are recipes for SCOBY fruit leather and SCOBY jellies out there. Or people puree them into smoothies. If in the future, I try some of these out, I'll be sure to post about it here on this site!
Kombucha contains a considerable concentration of antioxidants and probiotics, as well as reduced sugar levels, making it a healthier option in comparison with popular drinks like soda.
When soda companies add carbon dioxide gas to a soda mixture, the water is very cold so it can hold a lot of gas. They also use pressure to put more gas in the water than it could normally hold at that temperature. But when a soda can warms up a bit or when the can is shaken, that extra gas is really ready to come out.
Because of Henry's law — and the pressure of the gas trapped at the top of the sealed container — the carbon dioxide that's dissolved in the beverage stays within the fluid. However, when a soda container is opened, the pressurized carbon releases into the air.
Fill a glass with ice and gently pour your soda over it. The ice provides surface area for the carbonation to dissipate as the bubbles interact with the frozen water. Crushed ice works even better since it has more surface area. Pour slowly and let the ice work its magic until the soda is nice and flat.
