Hi all,
I've got a Coopers stout kit that I'm itching to get going, and was planning on putting in my pressure barrel once the primary ferment has finished.
My Q is how long can something like a 4.5% stout last in a barrel? I've got an S30 cylinder and barrel cap, so can top up with CO2 if required.
I ideally want to brew the stout for Christmas (so giving it plenty of time to condition) but wonder if it's too early to be thinking about brewing it yet - should I maybe wait until September-ish?
Cheers, Fatboyslimfast.
