Default Last Brew before Deployment
I'll be leaving for a hot flat sandy place in a few weeks, with a possible stopover in a hot mountainous sandy place. I'll be gone for around 9 months. Any thoughts on something I can brew and bottle before I leave (barley wines are the obvious choice, but maybe someone can give me a more specific idea). Also, I just bottled some moderately strength pale ales (~5%), and I'm not sure if I'll be able to drink all of them before I go. You think those will still be tasty? Thanks.

Thank you. Stay safe. Come home safe.

Barleywine is a great idea. you can toss it in a secondary and let it hang out for a good long while.

I vote Saison. A heavy Saison, the timing will be right for your return.

Be Safe.!!

Take care of yourself please! A big IPA, Barley Wine, Russian Imperial Stout would all do well with the wait. Your existing IPA's will be fine - and might well improve.
