Bottle now, or "keg" later?

Wed Sep 20, 2006 2:41 pm

Alright, I'm drawn between bottling now (as in today) or "kegging" later (as in this weekend, or the first of next week).

I bought a Tap-A-Draft system from B3 on Aug 18th and it's been on back order untill, looks like, today. I've got an IPA that I did on Aug 26th that was in primary for a week, then moved to secondary for dry hopping and has been there ever since.

so... this is probably a stupid question, but should I go ahead and bottle tonight or wait for the TAD system? I'm getting to where I hate to bottle, which is why I have waited this long on this batch.

Thanks

If I were in your same situation I'd wait to keg when your TAD comes in.

Since Boob said keg, I guess we all know that the right answer is to bottle it now.






















Wait for the keg :wink:

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.

Bottle, then immediately brew again. It is good to have inventory!
I brew, therefore I am.

...well I guess I should have noted in my initial post that I was dry hopping with an ounce of either Columbus or Chinook. This is going to be, litterally, a "Yard beer" for sure. Grassy, but not bad :P
