Hi all,
I have Wheat Beer in bottles 9 weeks, IPA in bottles 4 weeks and Stout in bottles 2 weeks. I also have a blonde beer in primary. Just wondering how long my beers will stay good in bottles? I know it isn't a problem most people have to deal with!! I work away from my home during the week so only drink my brew on weekends. What I'd like to do is build up a massive reserve of beer, stop brewing for a while and dip in when I need it. So far everything is improving with age. I was pretty careful with sterilisation and cleaning. Only problem may be with Wheat Beer as I left more than an inch of air at the top of the bottles. I also want to give people beer as gifts but don't want to give them rotten bottles! Literally a poisoned chalice.
Thanks!
Steve.
