Despite my love for beers (and ciders), one problem that I often face is the storage.
I drink about 200-300ml daily and I simply can't consume enough before the beer goes 'off'.
Therefore I've been considering brewing beers that can be bottle conditioned and suitable for drinking upto 3 years (and plus)
Led me to wonder, what's the characteristics of beer that can be stored for a long period of time without being filtered/pasteurized?
From What I've seen, it's either or both of high alcohol content and hopping.
Saying, that how is Weihenstephaner bottle conditioned considering it's 5.4% alcohol content and not-so-strong hopping?
Thanks in advance.
