Kegging Bourbon And Coke

[Bribie G]

Make it as early as possible and put on some serious gas pressure. For some reason soft drinks seem to take far longer than beer to carb up. I often make a keg of lemonade for SWMBO with a mix of Sodastream, water and cheap supermarket lemonade and it can take up to a fortnight to resemble the postmix soft drink you get from the bar. After that it's fine.

a good calculator for this can be found here http://homedistiller.org/calcs/dilute
Put coke bourbon and keg in a fridge set at 0c, this will help keep CO2 in solution. then just fill the keg, purge and set to serve pressure. i have found unless you have time dont **** with the CO2 volumes.

I have a big meet and greet coming up soon with all my fishing mates. Some of them are avid bourbon and coke drinkers and as I now own 6 kegs I was wondering about putting on a keg of bourbon and coke for them.

How would I go about this? Can you buy the coke syrup and add water and gas or should I just get 10 x 2L bottles and wack it in and then add a couple of bottles of Jack on top and just gas to pouring pressure?

Is this post blasphemy on a beer forum? If so apologies in advance and I will never mention spirits again :unsure:

soda stream cola would work, would taste the same if not a bit better than pre-mix! How big are your kegs? To get the same strength as pre-mix you would aim for about 8:1 ratio mix just off the top of my head!

Haha, just saw it pop up, didn't check the date, still good advice though you gotta admit [emoji23][emoji23]

Thanks for the feed back guys. Mucho apppreciato (pretty sure thats spanish right?). Agreed i think i will go with 1L:4L ration of bourbon to coke, just like cordial and water. I too prefer it straight, but some people just love their sugar
