Ok, I know this isn't totally scientific because I don't have a control, but it's something.
There are still folks clinging to the concept of autolysis in home brewing and other worries about leaving a beer too long in primary. So, I propose this.
I'm a lazy bastard and I have a beer I brewed in August that's been sitting in primary ever since. It's on my kitchen counter, in a bucket as we speak.
Hey there... we can add to the hysteria. It's been in PLASTIC since August!
So. I'm going to bottle up this beer someday soon when I get off my butt and get around to it. Then, I'm going to send it in as one of my entries for the HBT comp that's coming up in just a short while. Then, I'm going to post the comments I get from all my score sheets in this thead and we'll see if they detect anything that can be blamed on the long time sitting on the yeast cake and/or sitting in plastic all this time.
Not gonna add any yeast at bottling. Not gonna do anything special. Not even going to use oxygen absorbing caps.
Like I said, not totally scientific but maybe revealing nonetheless?
