So I made about 4 gallons of a black IPA in April 2011... and forgot about it. It's still sitting in the carboy, and I'm sure it's lost any aroma it might have had. I'm wondering what to do with it at this point in time. It's a fairly large beer, with an ABV of 8.7%. Should I just age it like a barleywine, or attempt dry-hopping it. One major issue though is that the vodka in the air lock evaporated. While it doesn't look infected, I shouldn't take any risks. Should I drop some campden in it, wait 48 hours, and then pitch some yeast and bottle it? Any advice would be great.
