Hello all,
My first batch since returning to the hobby was a Copper Ale from MWHB. It was in the primary fermenter for 3 weeks, followed by 3 weeks of priming in bottles.
I had my first bottle last week and it was great! I was actually super surprised when I took my first sip and realized this was much better than the beer I used to make. A week later, I tried another bottle and it was better than the first. A few days later, the third was better than the second.
My problem is that I'm afraid I'm going to drink all the beer (can't resist) before it reaches its optimum goodness.
How do people resist the urge to drink their homebrew before it's aged to perfection? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I seem to lack willpower.
