    will molasses flavor mellow w/ ageing

    Bottle it, let it carb, and put it in cold storage for an extended period of time, as many as you can fit on one of the bottom drawers of the fridge, and the rest in the cellar. This will likely mellow any overbearing molasses flavor. Lager at least another month and likely will take two or...

    barkshack question

    My suggestion would be to make a three gallon batch, you wont be sorry, after brewing as a 3 gallon batch, bottle one gallon in 12 oz bottles, and note the change in taste over the course of a year, Bulk age (for at least one year) one in a gallon jug preferably in a cool to cold environ and...
