I am new to this brewing thing (about a year now) and I just did a couple of double batches for me and a friend... New equipment and not good enough volume monitoring. I cooked a Black Ale recipe first and an Oatmeal Stout Ale second... after 1 and 1 1/2 weeks, respectively, in the primary fermenter I racked into my secondaries... as it turns out, I had about 3.5 gallons more than would fit in my four 5 gallon glass secondary fermenters. I put all of the excess (some from each primary--black and oatmeal stout ales) into a fifth carboy. They have all been airlocked and in the secondaries for 4 days now... all looks good. However, I don't know if I should bottle this combination or fill a fifth ball lock keg partially full of the mixture... I would appreciate any feedback I could get and can handle criticism... I am new to this and figured it was, in essence, "free beer." Please share your thoughts of whether I should bottle or keg this residual and if any special treatment would benefit. Thanks, in advance, Hillbilly
