I have a standard kegerator with two taps and two 5 gallon corny kegs. I want to keep those full of "everyday" beer but then be able to make and store small batches for 2 reasons:
1. To easily bring places (Parties, Holidays, or even to the locker room after hockey games)
2. For experimental stuff that I don't want/need 5 gallons of
My thought is to use 2 liter soda bottles and a Carbonator Cap. The brewing/fermentation process would be the same but then to "bottle" the beer I would:
1. Purge each 2L bottle with CO2
2. Transfer the beer from the fermenter into each bottle (limiting Oxygen Exposure and head space)
3. Put maybe 30PSI of CO2 on the bottle and shake (repeat maybe 3 or 4 times)
4. Remove the Carbonator Cap and squeeze the 2L until the beer is at the very top
5. Put the original plastic cap back on
6. Move on to the next 2L and repeat process
What are your thoughts? Will this stay carbed for a week or 2? Or is there a better/easier way make, store, and transport small batches?
Thanks!
