So this is very much a me not paying attention thing but long story short. This is my second brew.
My first brew, although a complete disaster, sat nicely in 12 750ml bottles. Without thinking I bought another 12 bottles not realizing this new brew was expected to make about twice the previous one. So today after sanitizing, transferring and bottling I now have half a bucket left still needing to be bottled.
I sealed the bottling bucket immediately to try and keep O2 to a minimum but it's likely going to be a day before I can get another batch of bottles. Is it worth keeping the brew or should I just dump it because it will go off? Are there any tricks for prolonging it?
