|
well i started a batch back in the last week of march then all hell broke loose wife pregnant consent over time no time to rack to a secondary etc so it has been sitting in the bucket this hole time. I have had a air lock but My 4 year old pointed out to the wife there are tiny little bugs in the air lock and I have had no temp control and it being the hottest summer on record her in central pa. So to stop my babbling ave I killed the beer or is there hope for the batch yet

If it tastes good and smells good it is fine.  . Give it a try. I recently found one I had forgot about for 6 months and it is great. |

That's your first step, I'd wager it will be fine.

So I quickly sanitized my auto siphon new air lock 6.5 gallon better bottle etc... And my Irish stout is in its new home will I be able to bulk age this till the baby my wife is pregnant with turns 1 ?

You best ship me the entire batch for proper tasting and disposal.
Relax - it's probably fine.

Stout is always best, when in the secondary for long periods of time.It might end up gold metal brew!

Congratulations! On both accounts, you can age beer for a very long time, years and it only gets better as long as it is stored properly. My personal problem is patience, your Irish stout has already aged in the fermentor as long as or longer than some beers that I have aged and drunk completely gone.
