So whats up with this? I saw some guy on youtube saying that he bottled some beers to take to a competition a few months after he had kegged his brew. I was going to a party on Saturday so I bottled a few bottles of my Burton Bridge from the keg, its been in there about 3 weeks and it tastes pretty good straight from the tap.
I opened a bottle at the party (same day) and it was noticeably flat, but the taste was still pretty good. Today though, 3 days later - it is really terrible... Flat, sour, could go as far as saying rancid......
I was very sanitary with everything, taking all the proper measures to sanitize my bottles, and anything that came into contact with them. There was however a lot of foaming when bottling, and I had to wait a little while before capping them, probably 10 - 15 minutes, as the foam was taking up most of the space. I didn't prime my bottles with anything as I was planning on drinking them all that night, but I only drank 1 (out of 4) in the end because I felt really tired.
So, did I do something wrong here or is this method only good for one day/night?
