I'm now three brews in and am trying to figure out how to best manage my homebrew inventory. I really like my first brew (a Sierra Nevada pale ale clone) , and am down to about 14 bottles remaining.
So can you fine folks tell me how you manage your batches of homebrew? Do you stash some for later? If it's great now (IMO), do I just drink it all and enjoy it now? I'm 5 weeks in bottle after 1 week in primary and 2 weeks in secondary.
My second brew was the Brewer's Best PSA IPA and has been in bottle for about 2 weeks. Had one last night and thought it needs to mellow a bit.
I've heard you don't want IPAs to sit too long, but not sure if the same can be said for an American pale ale such as my first.
