I had a profound thought today while my wife was telling me about her day.
What if I were to long term store my beer without priming?
Let me explain. I take it through its usual process, 10 days in primary and 20 in secondary as an example. Normally I would prime and bottle. What if instead, I just rack it into another vessel such as 1 gallon wine bottles without priming. At a later date, maybe 6-8 months down the road, I move the beer into bottles which I prime.
Questions:
Would I need to add yeast at time of priming?
Would the beer keep for those 6-8 months or longer without pressurizing?
