Resurrection 7-7-7 Resurrected
|
|
This morning I was cleaning out some kegs and found in the back of my cooler a cornie of our 7-7-7 Rye PA! I couldn't believe it. I have not tried it yet and will do that tonight, but I was amazed. I made a big batch and I obviously forgot there was yet another cornie of it. I will let you know how it tastes.

It does sound rather rediculous doesn't it? I had seven cornies in the cooler and this was there in the back, just chillin out.

Don'tcha love surprises like that?!
Definitely let us know how it tastes after all this time. I have plans to brew 777 again after the first of the year. That stuff was a winner.

I have a few bottles of 666 that i did w/o the oak chips. And you want to talk about just finding beer. I went out of town for a few weeks and when i came home i was going threw box's of beer i have and there was like 2 cases of stuff that just showed up. And no one in my house will confess to buying it!

I have been taking a sixer of each of my brews and putting them away for tasting later. Lastnight I pulled a sixer out of a Sierra Nevada Celebration clone I did in August and WOW, that aging does make a difference. BTW, Brewpastor, let me know how your 777 tastes and I will be right down

Damn - I gotta start kegging. I need to experience finding a forgotten keg!!
SW Brewer - Aging Really Makes a difference. - I bottle lager everything I make for 3 months in my Man-Fridge. I discovered this when I first started brewing.
I made my first batch I drank about half of it and it was OK not all that good. Biased in the sense you wanted to like it but is was just so so. I let it sit, brewed two more batches and meanwhile drank micros. Batch number 2 was an Octoberfest Cream Ale. At 3 weeks it was Ok as well. At two months my 1st brew remarkably improved. At 3 months - awesome. Unfortunately at 3 months I only had 1 bottle left.
My first 4 or 5 batches were warm conditioned everything since then has been cold conditioned.
The only exception is Edwort's Apfelwein. I condition it warm. Its on its 11.5 month and its really good.
