I love shooting time lapse photography and I'd like to do a TL of brewing from the start - I already have yeast multiplying under the microscope, doing a TL of mashing, boiling and fermenting is trivial and using colourless glass I can shoot bottle maturation - there's one thing missing - clearing in the cask.

Does anyone produce a clear cask that'd take the pressure of a maturing beer? - I have my doubts as we usually don't like our beer exposed to light.
 
Would be feasible in one of the 5 gallon betabottle PET carboys, like the ones you get on drinking water dispensers. It's only uv light that destroys beer, you should be able to tl on artificial light or flash stills

Fluorescent lights emit quite a lot of UV. Tungsten lights emit some, but it's a lot less. Halogens emit a lot of UV, but I don't know about LEDs
 
think u would be best looking at boxing up the camera and flash in a perspex sealed container dropping that into the cask and seaing, recovering the camera later..

lots of diddy cameras out there, and if needed a diddy arduino board and battery could control flash and picture taking..

u can get cheap perspex cylinders on ebay to fit in a cask bung hole and use fish friendly aquarium silicone to seal disks to each end...
