Ok so I am doing my first batch of beer this weekend and am starting to gather some information for the future bottling phase. I am wanting to bottle my hefeweizen in 2 liter bottles due to the cost and my infrequent consumption of the beer.
Please tell me if I am planning to do something wrong here. I plan to get club soda in 2 liter bottles and then empty them. I will be sanitizing the bottles and original caps fully and then priming them with about 1.5 teaspoons of corn sugar. I will put the hefeweizen in, squeeze out all remaining air and then just screw on the same original lid. I will then place the bottles in a dark place to store. Is there a problem storing these bottles in my cabinet refrigerated for several months (no more than 6)?
As I understand these bottles should stay carbonated and then when I want to drink one I just should throw them into my refrigerator to chill before opening. I believe that I need to drink them in one sitting as they will lose their carbonation. How soon after opening do I need to consume them before they are noticeably flat?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
