    Vinegar smell and taste

    What is your oldest beer?

    Of course I keep mead and wine for as long as can keep hands off of it. But as for beer I have a 2 and half year old bottle of Holiday style English Ole Ale. That won't be getting much older though because it's going in the glass this Xmas.

    Start here. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/teach-me-about-honey-257416/ as far as priming... The quick answer is about 4-5 oz. The better answer would depend on the beer's temp, volume and the volumes of C02 you want in the final product.
