nope, smaller, designed for higher pressure. Can't fill a CO2 tank with nitro, fittings are different.

Came across a case of homebrew I bottled, best recollection, some 25 plus years ago. It's an extremely dark brew and recall sharing a couple 22oz bottle with neighbors shortly after bottling and did it have one heck of a kick. Faced with the dilemma of tossing the batch or test it; if so, should the subject be human, animal, or insect. Possibly arrange a herf and if BCaxman does not surface in a couple days, toss it. Any suggestions??

If you were well sanitized you don't have anything to worry about in tasting it except flavor. Go for it, and report back.

If you're really worried about contamination or something just check around the meniscus area on the bottles. If there is no funk you are fine. If there is funk, you probably are still fine.

UMMMM, sniffed, sipped and in the process of consuming the entire bottle. Can't remember the recipe I used with this batch; however, recall the first 5-6 batches I initially took my time by adding variety of hops, and malts, during different stages of the brewing process. Surprised to find it still has a 'homebrew' flavor, it's very dark in color yet light bodies with a chocolate-carmel flavor. The darkest cigar I could find to match the color is a Camacho triple maduro. The rest of the batch remains in a wooden crate half buried under the house, been kicking and moving the crate around over the years and probly about time I store what remains in a dark and cool space.

Still kicking, wow that was quite a treat not sure which had more of a kick the home brew or the tripple maduro. Poronico that Bruiser's brew did look mighty tasty, kinda considering getting back into homebrewing. Thanks for the input!!

I'd like to have been able to make a swap but the reason brew has set so long is recall setting aside 3-4 bottles where special 'home grown' hops were donated to what remain of a particular batch, hey it was the late 70's; anyhow, later mixed 1 or 2 with the rest of the unlabled bottles; hopefully will be able to determine when corked. Appreciate the offer, if not inconvenient, just a taste, will PM.
