Homemade pre-mix
Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2011 6:43 pm
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??
