Hey everyone!!! I need a little guidance on an upcoming move (2-weeks to be exact). I am moving from Northern Nevada to Austin, TX and have an issue that needs solved.

I have been in the process of "draining" all of my kegs :tank: but I have 5 gallons of a very potent hard pineapple/apple cider that I have been aging for close to 8 months and will not be ready to keg for 2-3 more months... hopefully, lol. It is currently in a 5 1/2 gallon glass carboy (I know some of you do not approve but I love them for long term secondaries). Anyway my problem is how should I handle moving it halfway across the country without compromising it.

Driving a U-Haul truck, have plastic bucket fermenters (7 1/2 gallon), have corneys and Co2 but don't want to carbonate it yet... Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated?

Oh and I am really looking forward to the Austin Homebrew scene!!!
 
I'll suggest to put it and let it age in a keg further. The keg should make it less of a headache, wont break, and full enclosed and wont leak. So rack into a keg, flush with CO2 and close. It wont carb and will be better than a carboy sloshing around.
