Strange find

/subscribe

Are you sure it is beer? Unless I missed the post where you describe the taste I can't see how someone who is so passionate about beer brewing would make 100 gallons and then just let them rot in situ. That is a huge investment in time. And back then aging beer was not very common at all.

I just find it more likely that this was his wine storage area and that any of the beer he made was consumed long ago. It is easy to believe that someone could lay up a bunch of wine and have his circumstances change while it was aging to the point where he would just leave it.

This thread is now reminding me of (MOD EDIT) FIGHT CLUB.

Come on OP. TAKE IT ALL OFF!!!

Anyway, my vote is cast that this is still actually wine. (It is the optimist in me thinking that that could be some amazing one of a kind wine discovery versus beer which almost certainly would be bad, even for vinegar.)

I don't see any creepy at all. There is no evidence that any of this was made with dead hookers and unless I missed something earlier in the thread this closet was not guarded by flying monkeys.

At any rate, if it is beer, wine Kool-Ade or anything humanly consumable and not bodily fluids, this is an interesting find. And I'd apply Revvy's don't toss it until you taste it approach to this. Unless it is bodily fluids, then get someone else to do the tasing.

OK. I'm hooked. Subscribed :rockin:

This is real strange that someone would take the time to start this in 1969 and then continue to make new batches without bottling up the first ones. I would like to know what happened in 1973. Why did he/they stop. How many more carboys of wine would have been started.

Maybe they really really hated bottling and were saving up for kegging equipment....

well, my interest is peaked, i'm subscribed...


and if it ends up being any good at all, i'd pay shipping for a bottle or 2 if the OP would be interested in being assisted in getting the carboys emptied out.

This is AWESOME! I subscribe. I really hope its wine. also being local if it is wine and you need any help getting rid of it or would like to sell some of it i would be interested.

I really hope you can get the story behind this mystery. Hopefully it will be a funny tale and not a sad tale like someones family member dying and it being too painful to deal with it.

I have to admit I am dying of curiosity.

subscribed.. tasting notes please!!!

Doh! I just found this thread today and I thought surely by the time I read through all 9 pages I would read the conclusion of the story... but alas no luck...

Still no outcome?!

"Taste the beer, taste the beer!"

And no one thought about having it tested for pathogens!

Botulism set in.....way to go everybody....

Nice find...subscribing

That's not wine. That's the 30+ years of the old boy's urine samples.

Taste it anyway.

Way to go , now it's 10 pages

I just started today and already the suspense is killing me!

Cool.

Hell, even if it's beer I'd give it a go. There was a write-up in one of the homebrewing magazines a few years back about sampling a 140 year old beer. Granted it was bottled, but still.....

How do I subscribe? Oh ... I think I just did!

And took this to page 11 !!! So taste the d@mn beer already!

....................................

if it is wine i have a sister who is a wine broker and would pay a very pretty penny for this especially if the back story is complete and verifiable. There are allot a rich folk that would pay up the wazoo for a bottle of something like this with it's unique story.

Anybody know how Acid was made back in the late 60's and early 70's? Obviously we don't want details posted on this forum, but could that be a really old batch of Acid?

IF it's beer, It may be interesting to revive the yeast. I'm definitely waiting to see how this one ends.

Considering Acid is chemically synthesized not fermented and you only need micro liters of Acid to trip, I would highly doubt that is in those containers. Even by 1960's standards that would be a LOT of Acid.

Gives new meaning to the term "Wavy Gravy"!

Subscribed.. and giddy with excitement! I read the whole thing... waiting for more of the story!

Man, talk about a party. If my conversion is correct then that would be about 1.9 billion hits of 200 microgram doses. That would put the Pickard and Apperson operation to shame. We can wish, though.

Dude, I would have stuck a ****ing straw into one of them by now. Can I swear here?

You can try, but the censor will make it difficult. lol

Ok I want to know too!

Chester! Chester!
In case it was acid...Cough and Cough hard!
It is the same as chest compressions, get yourself to the emergency room.
Then post and let us know!
