Well,
Live & learn. My 10%abv IIPA has been in the bottle for 4 weeks @ 72F. Still flat. Got 80% attenuation out of the American Ale II. I think they're spent. In hindsight, I should have pitched a little fresh yeast.
A couple weeks ago I got a kegging setup. In an effort to save this beer, last night I opened all the bottles and poured them into a corny. Being extra careful with sanitizing and I tried to minimize the splashing/air contact. I am going to take this opportunity to dry hop with a couple more ounces. (Only hit it with 2 oz the first time around and that was a month ago now). I'll let it sit on the hops for about 5 days and then force carb.
My question is...has anyone else had to do this? I'm curious what effect it will have on the beer.
