Hi there,
I was having a little discussion about my newly bottled Double IPA.
It's going to be tasted at a contest at the end of May, start of June(so 6 months away) and some guy said that by then I would have lost most of the hop flavour and smell.
Now, I'm thinking to myself that that's nonsense. I'm going to brew a new batch before entering the competition anyway in about 2 months time but I just don't think there's such a short lifespan for these hops.
In my experience, my previous beers actually tasted the best after 6 months(especially when it comes to hop)
Is there any data on this?
