I've seen various threads that recommend setting a few bottled beers to one side so you can see the difference (hopefully improvement) after X amount of time. It strikes me that this will be different for different styles of beers, lower ABV beers are better drunk young etc. is there a rule of thumb to guide us?
For example my first brew is about ready for drinking, it's a 4.5% approx 40 IBU so to my taste quite hoppy (brews number 2 and 4 are or will be similar as I'm trying to find my go to brew), will sticking 6 bottles of that first batch aside for 6 months be a good move or should I expect them to be at their peak sooner?
