Wow. I could never wait 10 years.(too impatient) Well, I guess from now on I will be blending into a carboy and let it sit for awhile before bottling. Thanks everyone for the comments , and I will try to get some picture uploaded.

Maybe you could throw some wine yeast in your primary after about a week. I did this to a pale ale one time because i was worried it wasnt fermenting after a few days. It turned out to be great beer. You could call it barley-apple wine.
