So, I've used my kegger to fill up a growler to go or a few bottles for a friend who would be drinking brew in the next few days. Either way, they were kept cold from keg to bottle to fridge.

For those of you who keg and send out to beerswaps or comps, do you think it affects your final brew (moreso for competition)? I'm worried that even doing what I can (cranking up pressure for a few days, then bleeging off and filling at a reduced PSI with a CP filler/beer gun), things like warming up and shaking during transit will affect my brew more than if I just bottle carbed a 6er out of every batch for the very purpose of sending out for comp/swap.

Anyone notice anything in kegged brews drank weeks later and often changing temp from cold to warm to cold again?

Hopefully BM will chime in with a link to the post he made about how he does this.

Well, I've seen his magic tool, and I use something similar, and it works fine for short term storage and transfer.

I'm really interested in hearing the results of long term storage of keg bottled beer and how it survives transfer.

I really wish that I was mature enough to not find that hilarious.

I've heard the guys on the Jamil show podcast saying that they generally bottle their beers from the keg.

I'm subscribing to this thread just to hear more about Biermuncher and his magic tool.

(and the 8 new cornies in the basement that I start using next week)

The beer I entered in competition was carbonated with carb drops. I racked to the keg. Then used a picnic tap to fill sanitized bottles. dropped in a carb drop and let it sit for 6 weeks for competition.

I'm getting ready to keg for the first time this weekend I was wondering what to do with the extra 2 or 3 litres. I want to bottle them but can't figure out how much sugar per bottle. I'm sure I could but I'm too slow or lazy.

Thanks
Rudeboy
