Hello All:
Just started HB-ing about a month ago and have an IPA in secondary waiting to be bottled in about a week.
A few months ago my wife bought me a little "keg" (actually, just a huge can) of Bell's Two Hearted Ale -- one of my favorites. I haven't had an opportunity to open the keg yet and looking ahead a few months do not see one in the near future, even with holidays approaching. I am assuming that once opened the thing will go flat in a day or so (first question: is that a correct assumption? if not, then problem solved).
I got to thinking about all the empty bottles I have been collecting for my own brews, as well as caps, etc., and the thought crossed my mind that if I were very careful about not splashing I could open the keg and "bottle" it in my own bottles to savour over time rather than having to drink it all at once.
Is this completely crazy?
Thanks
DK
