I have a RIS that just never carbonated (long story, and i did try to add some yeast to each bottle - that didnt really work).
It is about two years in the bottle now and still tastes great - in fact it is matured greatly, its just pretty flat. I'd estimate its at probably 1 vol co2, maybe a little less.
I just heard that Goose Island here in Chicago is holding a RIS homebrew competition with an entry deadline of Jan 18. Not enough time to brew and age a new RIS so I was thinking, what if I cleaned and sanitized and purged a corny keg and carefully poured my old RIS into that keg and then force carbonated, and re-bottled off the keg?
Has anyone done this or something similar? crazy/stupid idea or could this work? any tips or other ideas?
Thanks,
