You might want to go easy on this for beers you want to keep long term

to (in theory) minimise mixing oxygen into beer that will cause oxidation

of beer/staling. I think stirring in little circles along a big circle around the

tub (circles wthin circles) and then giving it 30-60 minutes before bottling is

enough.


And don't use PET bottles for long term storage - they let air in through the

plastic - I have some beer in PET bottles over a year old and they definitely

taste sherry-like (oxidation).



If you can be bothered, you could use the container with markings to mark your

cube(s). Fill container up to 25L say, pour 1L into cube and mark with permanent

marker pen ... and repeat. You might want to put specific scratches where the

marks are as the the pen marks will probably wear off.


I've done this with one cube with one set of marks for cube in upright position

and another set with cube on its side - for when you want to do this:


 :huh: !?
