I started kegging before the summer to save some time and space. Bottling was just taking too long and having hundreds of bottles around was becoming a problem.
I kegged three beers and put them on tap, a Sam Adams winter lager clone, a belgian wit and a Kolsch. With the Belgian I made 6 gallons and bottled 1 gallon to give away. I cracked open a bottle of the Belgian the other day and was surprised at how much better the beer tasted. The Orange was much more pronounced in the aroma and taste, and the bottled beer had much better spiciness. I also thought the overall bitterness was closer to what I wanted.
My question is has anyone else noticed this with beers they've kegged and bottled? If this is generally the case it may make me go back to bottling. Why spend so much time brewing if I'm not getting the best results.
