Home brewing thread anyone?

I guess it would go stale. The only real difference to my bottling at this stage is that my bottles get pressurized (by fermentation) after I bottle. They sit around for weeks until I put some in the fridge to start drinking that batch.

You can just prime it and seal it. It might foam a bit when you want to tap it. (I don’t know what tapping mechanism they use).

I’d be ok with treating as I do regular
Bottles.

Actually that's what I was thinking. If I prime as usual, leaving a good air space, it would be like bottling. There appears to be a filter on the end of the pickup tube so any fines would get trapped. I would have it nice and cold before putting the tapping head on so there would be no foaming (I don't get any now and I have 750mil PET bottles). In fact these PET bottles come in 4 l size too. I wonder if I could just bottle in 4l and then open one up and drink it that day. I bottle 23l, so 6 of those 4l ones and maybe no CO2 system at all. That would not cost much to try.....$6.79 on sale right now - shoot sold out! They have sales all the time. Plus I have local stores I can check

4L PET Keg

This great value re-usable PET plastic keg is the best way to store your home brew in a smaller sized container than traditional 19L corny kegs. The small 4L size is convenient, light weight and perfect for sharing beverages with friends. Use as a 'growler' or use one of the following dispensing...

Edit - one drawback would be that I normally do a full pour all at once due to sediment. I don't think its a deal breaker, as that is just dead yeast and other nutrients, plus it tends to get a little sticky and is not that free to move around.

When kegging you never drink the last couple glasses. In fact I have considered shortening my pickups.

I’d rather have no screen than a clogged screen.
