Usually not worth it; you’ll need to gently distill (in proper glass, this is important) the beer like it is done for ABV measurement and measure density of leftovers. Or do quantitative chromatography. You’ve got to know hands-on chemistry real well for this. Let me know if you need the procedure.
Only once I’ve got yeast staggered by lemon juice addition, and that happened in secondary fermentation. If there is enough sugar (and, if I recall correctlt, there was added sugar in these ferments), they’ll keep going. Acidity that slows them down for real is much higher, like what acetobacteria do. Yeast still thrives in bread starters and combucha, and those are sour!
There you go, now we know the answer for “what was thinking that person who chopped the very last tree on Easter island?”

Was it pulpy? Particles tend to stabilize liquid interfaces.
I make and sell mucrocloning kits in anticipation to see this happen
Then it’s effectively braggot. Embrace the froth, you are cookin!
Yeast does this if they are in really sweet spot for sugar, nitrogen, microelements, temperature, and pH. Almost always happens in braggot (once shot into ceiling with lock, was quite a mess), also if you add yeast fertilizer. I think I saw this reported reproducively for slightly over 23C lager yeast. And, well, insufficient headspace might be a problem. Don’t worry, at least yet.
Are you boiling them? Why?
Mikrolisäys on toinen mahdollisuus. Voit otta osat paraista chileista, lisätä, jä säylyä sen lasiputkissa talvella. On helpompi kuin näkyy.
Then it’ll totally ferment like crazy, I did this with honey and quartered oranges.
Aji norteno, luullo. Tämä kasvoi ulkona avomaassa, sitten ottin noin 90% vihreaa pois ja siirtin ruukuun.
So are you adding sugar this time or not?
Samaa!
Indeed, I had a stall once in a melomel with just a few lemons in secondary. Not a big deal since it was secondary, and residual sweetness counterbalanced the tartness nicely. Got really quickly really clean though.
I would say using just the skins for flavor is much more feasible. Also I quarter citrus, slicing them like this is just asking for lots of mush at cost of laborous slicing.
Ciders and cysers are perfect drinks for Gravmas celebration! Although myself I’m planning citrus melomel for the evening, brings up childhood memories. Tried to share photos of 3x decoction weisen from the eve, but lost fight to foam miserably, for it was not the first bottle for the evening.
My wife said that Christmas specials should be made on Christmas for the next one. Sounds legit. I think that’d be my plan for now.
Oh, sure, let’s maybe keep them in hands of governments and corporations, those always behave responsibly, right?
Awesome, I should totally start making these things too and place them in my microcloning and brewing yeast webstore. This dude is a hero of our biopunk culture, weird that I haven’t heard about this before!
U-tube is just a glorified pendulum. But using this classical U shape for liquids is worth it. Pendulums is how you measure mass if gravity is too low.
I know some people inverted U-tube and immersed piezo fork into liquid. Then they struggled with reflections and setting feedback right or making sweep practical enough. And then there is electrical connections going into the probe through liquid surface, which is another concern. Still, in batch process (and all brewing is batch process) immersible probe should be much faster and washable than flow-through, I guess.
