hey there I’ve lost my bottling wand and have 2 weeks to have the beer ready to drink. What’s my best course of action to have beer carbonated and not oxidized?
Here are my 2 plans so far
#1 Force carb beer a bit higher than normal and add growler pourer to tap. Purge carb and set to 5 psi and pour from there squeezing plastic bottles so to reduce o2 before capping.
#2 same as #1 expect bottle condition by adding priming sugar to keg the pour into bottles with same method and growler pourer.
With #1 I am concerned with o2 and waist with foam. But it will be best due to my time constraints. If I squeeze the bottles to reduce o2 will is decarb he beer too much. With #1 I can bottle much later closer to the drink date. The beer will be drank of a 3 day camping trip.
Appreciate all your thoughts.
