I honestly can't tell if you are trolling or you are serious in this thread, but i'll give you a tip to improve your homebrew if you'd like.

I'm not sure if you bottled half off of that carboy or that's just how much you brewed, but if you did brew about 2-3 gallons of beer, i'd highly suggest you get a 3 gallon carboy. That much head space in your carboy will lead to some potential oxidation of your beer.

I think it is time for bbrou to open Ghost Batch 1 bottle he has been saving.

You think oxygen will penetrate the massive amount of CO2 inside of there? I appreciate it, and these first few APA batches were atypically small due to testing out a new recipe. We are scaling them up to 5 gallons once we are satisified with the basis of the recipe. I did a lot of research on this particular potential problem and much of what I gathered seemed to say that it shouldn't be a problem at all. We shall see. Thanks.
