I'm considering getting a firkin to make some cask ale.
However, I can't see myself going through a whole cask of beer very quickly, so it'll sit around for weeks at the very least.
I'd imagine there will be a 'blanket' of CO2 over the beer throughout the ales lifespan, so the beer won't get oxidized sitting around for all that time. But I could be wrong, what say you?
