I need some help and or advice. My son and I brewed an IPA in April. Did gravity readings and was ready to bottle after a few weeks. About 6 weeks out we were going to bottle it and I got all the bottles cleaned and sanitized and my son never showed up and we kept putting it off. Putting it off, and putting it off.
Now it's been 5 months. Does anyone know if it is any good still? It's been sealed up and unopened the whole time except for the two or three times I opened it up to take a reading early on.
Also it's been in a little cooler environment than it probably should have been for an IPA. ( It's been in my basement which stays at about 60 degrees all the time.)
So, has anyone ever brewed an IPA or similar type of beer and let it sit in the primary fermentor for that long and still bottled and drank their beer? I hate to throw it away after all that work but I'm also very Leary about drinking it. Please help!
