Well, I had a party this weekend (Sunday)--same one with the paintball and the idiot neighbor, but anyway. . .
In an attempt to keep everyone from going to my three taps and draining my homebrew, I ordered a 6th barrel (5 gallons) of Sam Adams BL. Well, most people seemed to drink the homebrew, although Sam helped take the heat off. So today, I had to take the keg back and the dang thing is still 75 % full.
So I rigged up a corny keg and hose, connected it to the hand pump, and pumped that beer into my corny, purged as much of the air as I could, and put it under pressure.
So I literally captured Sam Adams in a corny keg.
Now the question. ....
Since this was sitting under air for the past 2 days, and I only had a hand pump to draw it out, should I just put this on tap right now and continue to drink it, or can I store it awhile.
I had some today, and minus being a little flat, and maybe a slight bit stale, it tasted fine.
