Also put CO2 'thingy' on top 'just in case'....

Lager needs 20 psi to condition.  A barrel can only get to 10 psi (Pounds per square inch)
By bottling it you can get the required pressure.

Righto, I shall start bottling this week then.  Luckily I have plenty of bottles around.  :)

Just out of curiosity, does ale also need this kind of pressure?  Next on my list (after the Chardonnay) is a Woodfordes Wherry kit (my favourite  :tongue2:).

No, beer is fine in a barrel.  Its just the largers that need conditioning.

Your going to end up with a lot of stuff to drink this winter?

Sounds lovely  ;)  but I shall probably give a lot away as festival prezzies or to friends who help me.   :)  Bottles of sloe gin and quince eau de vie are a bit beyond my pocket this year and I like to make consumables for folks.  :D

Glass is best, but expensive and harder to store, you also need a capping tool.  I use PET screwtop beer bottles, over and over.
