I still will use bottles for leftovers and brews like stouts that i dont drink enough of to bother kegging but no you are right, it will be a real major effort to bottle a whole brew now :lol: :lol: :wink:

Having recently started kegging too, that's exactly what I'm doing for the moment as well Leigh. Guzzle the keg first and reserves as back-up :lol:

Recipe looks good, it's interesting and I haven't seen a Pils using that grain bill before. Hersbrucker is a very nice hop. Glad it went so well for ya :D

Cheers, Ed
