Here's my dilemma...
I have a beautiful Sierra ale sitting in the carboy, but I'm out of kegs...but two of the kegs in the fridge are running low...
Goal is to get the delicious ale ready for drinking
Options:
1. Bottle what's left in the kegs using the counter pressure filler, then keg the Ale
2. Bottle the ale.
3. Bring some friends over to kick the two kegs, then keg the ale.
4. Buy another keg.
Option 1 and 2 are a lot of work - lots of cleaning, sterilizing, capping bottles, etc...
Option 3 is easy, but does not preserve my existing stock and variety of beer.
Option 4 is good, but I have no readily available source for kegs other than to pay LHBS prices.
What would you do?
