Should I Try This
« on: September 18, 2016, 11:07:21 am »
I have a 3 liter bottle of 17% Pilsner that I won 2 years ago from a local brewery. Due to the alcohol content I have not yet opened it. We keep thinking that we will serve it at a party but there is always too many choices to drink and we don't want people to get too hammered and drive.
I'm thinking of racking it into a purged 1.75 gallon keg and serving from that.
What do you think?
Don't let the bastards cheer you up.

Try it, you and your friends don't have to drink it all. You won't know until you try it.

Right, the idea of kegging it instead of serving out of the bottle is that it doesn't have to all be consumed once opened.

Just minimize the O2 exposure as best you can.
