Adding Zinc to your beer can stop it getting lightstruck.

Or, so I heard at the B&T talk.

Doubt it. Zinc's an essential nutrient for yeast so it's always there (at least whatever's leftover). Never seen a beer with real hops that doesn't skunk up in the sun.

think you missed the joke - Zinc works on your nose, so why not in your beer?

I was in that session at B&T as well, and had a good chuckle.
 
I'm waiting for someone to post a pic of a bottle smeared in zinc cream....

Yes, no challenge at all .....

I have been the victim of numerous trolls in my time so I was lookig forward to doing some 'trolling' of my own. Plus I got a good chuckle when Dr K answered Dr Simon.

I look forward to this little known fact making it way into home brewing 'lore.

Oh, in retrospect you are actually incorrect. You're not talking about "zinc in beer" at all.

Oh dear. Let's not restart the old CB list zinc addition circle jerk. I think this thread started with a big one.
