Random Question...Bottling from the Keg

[TheJadedDog]

Do I need to sanitize my bottles if I am bottling them from the keg and if they will be drunk quickly?

As long as they're not going to sit for more than a few hours, it's not that important.

I'd do it anyway...just in case.

Assuming the keg is carbonated and the beer is cold, you whould be able to bottle without sanitizing if you keep the bottles cold in the fridge and drink them within a week or two.

clean but not sanitized is fine. Best if consumed within a few days. Limit the amount of O2 in the bottles to help prevent oxidation. I typically fill a growler every few days, and it is simply rinsed. works fine.
