I was wondering what would be the best way to make a 9 hour drive with two better bottles with beer that is partially fermented. In one I have a old ale that is going to come in about 7%abv and has only been in the bb for 4 weeks. In the other I have a barley wine that is going to come in about 8-9%abv that has only been in the bb for 2 weeks. The barley wine still has a small layer of krausen but I would expect it to quickly dissipate once it is moved, and the old ale has no krausen and should be pretty close to being done. The SG of the old ale was 1.022(a week ago) which is very close to what I expected it to finish at, but it still needs to age a little bit. My main concern is oxidation, and of course losing the beer to a accident. If anyone has any advice on how to make the move without ruining the beer, or suggesting that I bottle it, I would appreciate it.
This move is happening because SWMBO decided that she doesn't want that position in my life anymore, . But at least I get to move back to Colorado.
