I actually just read something about that the other night. Heehee. I brewed these more to be a little snarky and come up with a theme when naming them.

I didn't think you were brewing your last beer before the end of time ;-)

I brewed this one on Dec 28, and it's pretty drinkable now.

Can't wait to try it again in a few months.
FWIW I'm infinitely more concerned about 2038 which is the equivalent of Y2K for unix machines.

Well, mashing low did wonders for the barleywine. It seems to have stabilized at 1.020! With an OG of 1.100 or so, this puts the brew right where I wanted it at ~10%! The mild has dried way out, at 1.002. It tastes pretty damn watery. Still thinking of adding a couple pounds DME to bump everything up. Is this a bad idea?
