Long term storage

Systems, Gear, & DIY

Hi all. I’m a first time brewer and have my first 1 gallon batch going. I’d like to start a few new batches, 1 would be Appelwein and the other Graff but I have a few questions. I know that Appelwein ages well but how does Graff do? Also would a growler with a screw on type lid or a flip top work for long term storage of both? I don’t have bottling equipment and don’t plan to prime/carb anything so using a larger container is ideal.

Thank you for the help in advance, I really just need to figure everything out in advanced so that I am prepared and nothing goes to waste.

First of all, welcome to the hobby!

Screw cap growlers don’t hold a good seal, so oxygen can get in and lead to premature staling. If you have flip-top ones, that should work OK as long as the rubber gasket is in good shape. You can use plastic soda bottles as well, but be sure to store them away from light unless you have brown bottles.
