Yes you can I do it all the time.I just set and forget it for a week and pull it out when I want to change the keg.

Great Beer, One of the few pleasures I acquired after moving from the Outer Banks to the Cleveland area. Great Lakes is a Great Brewery. Love that Christmas Ale too.:mug:

I brewed a ScotchAle and didnt like it much at first so I gave a lot of the batch to friends. Tried it 3months later and thought it was great. Like it so much bought another Scotch ale kit. Plan to wait a while to drink this one and pass judgement. Lesson learned;)

Second Batch:D 1648 + 4.5= 1652.5
