I have a batch of Shiner Bock I need to transfer to a corny, but I wont have any CO2 for a day or so, is that alright? I figure as long as I sanitize it I shoulds be ok, right?

Correct me if I am wrong...boy, that's asking for it..., but in another thread I read that gassing it is not necessary if you prime it and let it room temp condition. Is that correct?rdwj said:and throw some C02 on when you get it, even if you plan on letting it sit

Also, correct me again, but (after you rack to a corny) you can let it sit for months without gassing it, right? Or was that just tap a little gas into then it'll be OK to sit for a while.

If it doesn't then some part(s) may be missing.
