Hi all, as you probably(or probably don't) know I have jumped into this brewing malarkey with both feet.
Right now I have a 6 bottle Pinot Grigio kit in a DJ, a 30 bottle kit in a carbon both a couple of weeks from bottling, and have the bottles ready and waiting.
My problem is my beer. I have a 40 pint kit, Donner and Blitzed that has been in the ferm bucket for a week, so according to instructions should now be bottled. (It looks ready and I will take a hydro reading tomorrow)
Now I have an old boots pressure barrel, a spare carboy(glass) and about 20 bottles. I don't drink beer that fast at home, so am worried about using the barrel as I don't want to have to bin half of it.
My question is should I put this initially into the carboy, or could I put half in the barrel and half in bottles .
Most if not all will definitely be gone by Xmas as long as its ok
What are your thoughts chaps?
Regards
Matt
