How long still carbonated Blichmann Beer Gun?

Thu Apr 25, 2013 3:35 pm

I've got a beer that I want to enter into a homebrew competition on June 14th, and with my total lack of will-power, there's no way the beer will last that long in my keg. If I was to properly bottle a couple of beers this weekend with the Blichmann Beer Gun, will it still be carbonated in the middle of June? :unicornrainbow:

The Beergun has nothing to do with retaining carbonation. Once you cap the bottle, there is a certain amount of CO2 in there. A properly capped bottle will not leak any CO2, so the carbonation level will not change.
