Those of you who know me around this forum know that I just got home from a long deployment. What you may not have known was that I had three brews (an ordinary bitter, an APA, and EW's Apfelwein) sitting in primary when I left. I know, it wasn't my first choice, but life got in the way and I couldn't find the time to bottle 15 gallons of beer while trying to pack, outprocess, and start the divorce process.
Anywho, long story short, some of my brewing equipment was lost (she didn't know what it was, so she threw it out) when the wife moved out. By the time my replacement gear gets in and I can bottle these three batches, they'll have been in primary for a total of about 10 months. Maybe they'll be ruined by that much-feared autolysis boogeyman, or maybe they'll just be the best beers I've made to date. Either way, I'll post an update in a few weeks after I can bottle and prime them. Wish me luck!
