Hi.
We were going to enter an outstanding brew in the County Fair and saved two 22oz. bottles for the entry.
Subsequently, we found out that you must enter three bottles of brew (any size from 10oz. and 22oz.).
My question is, will it negatively affect the beer if we pop the caps, pour the brew into three 12 oz. bottles and recap them?
My guess is "yes," because of the CO2 loss, but if the competition is still several weeks away, I thought the brew might have enough yeast and sugar left over to fill the head space etc.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
