Whoops, Found an Oatmeal Stout in the closet

jmkratt · Jun 26, 2011

Forgot I brewed a double batch and just found an Oatmeal Stout I brewed 2 months to the day ago in the closet. I forgot I took it out of the fermentation chamber for a Peach Wheat. I would normally have kegged it 4 weeks ago. Stupid. Anyhow as far as I can tell it tastes fine but is there anything I should consider before kegging? It was supposed to go to Nitro.

If it tastes good, keg it up and get some gas on it!

Keg it, carb it, then put it on nitrogen/beer gas and serve that mother UP!

Chances are, you have a most excellent stout in your hands.

Probably freakin' delicious!

+ 1 on all the comments with one consideration, if you are bottling you might want to add some yeast.

Thanks guys. I felt so dumb when I was unpacking from vacation and came across the brew. Serious D'OH!! moment.

Will be kegged today

Appreciate the reassurance.

I forgot about a batch for 6 months and it was great! :mug:

^ +1 to accidental (or laziness) 6 months (or more!

) in primary. May not win competitions after a 6 month primary but the beer turns out just fine.

2 months is nothing! As long as your sanitation is good and your airlock worked the way it was meant to, it will end up a clearer beer and you will worry less next time about the timeframes of fermentation.

Keg that stuff up and drink away!
