Life happened - what to do with beer in kegs?

[Takeshi_pilis]

Good day,

Life hit me, things change, I stoped drinking bla bla and now I am in a bit of interesting situation.

I have a 3 pcs korny keg system. All three kegs are almost full. Its now chilling in a walking fridge. Point of the problem - I must move the kegs out and I will have no posibility of a keezer/kegerator/fridge for further storage. Is there a way and overall point in bottling these kegs somehow?

Thank you for your input!!

P.S. Drinking the beer is not an option now. Its damn good, but sadly I cant enjoy it.

Poor some into a bottle, let the foam subside and pour some more if necessary then cap it. Crown top or screw top. If you feel it will loose too much carbonation, then prime the keg or bottles. Adjust for the CO2 level that the beer is. So not much sugar at all.

I don't know that this will work, but I don't see why it wouldn't. Sure it might waste more beer than pressure bottling, but it'll waste less than tossing all the beer.

If you have enough time till D-day, then try a few bottles and see what they are like a week later. And try to get a comparison to the beer in the keg so oxidation can be assessed. Though a week might be too soon.

are you really in lithuania?

if not i know a guy who will drink it for you if you pay for shipping to the states.

Is the beer already carbonated? Do you have a way to serve it out of the keg?

If it's already carbonated just carefully fill bottles and seal them up (not screw caps unless PET).

If it's not carbonated just dose the keg with some simple sugar mixture, fill bottles cap and wait.

If you can't bottle look for a used chest freezer....

If you're kegging, then it shouldn't be too hard to make a counter pressure filler and start filling bottles until you empty the kegs. Sell the kegs and other gear, then give the beer away.

3 full kegs would require ~160 12 ounce bottles. Unless the intent is to give the bottled beer away, why not just park the kegs in someone's basement and let them just be three big bottles until you get around to tapping them?

Cheers!
