Homemade pre-mix

[Nardy]

I just posted a comment in the essences thread about a rum essence and it got me thinking about something.

I also brew all-grain beer and have a keg fridge with a range of my beers on tap. For BBQs and camping etc, I have a 9L keg and 500g gas bottle that I take away in an esky.

Previously I have made premix rum and coke in this 9L keg by just adding the right ratios to the keg and applying gas as usual - but only for parties where it has been consumed within 24 hours.

My question is, if I make up a full 9L of rum and coke mix, and make that a house regular (where it may sit for a long time), will the alcohol and soft drink separate? Will it need shaking up every now and then to mix or will it all just stay mixed up??

I would think it would stay mixed, you can leave a bottle of alcohol alone for a long time and the alcohol wont seperate from the water and seeming coke is mostly water it should act the same.

True. One way to find out I guess..

Yeah if you leave it too long and it settles to the bottom the first pour might be the last :laughing-rolling:

You don't need to shake pre mixed cans ;)
So i recon it'll be fine

That's a good point. Kinda makes my question seem a bit stupid..
