Hi everyone,
I have a question that I'm sure someone with beer brewing experience can answer. I made a coopers Amber ale kit around 4-5 months ago. I had planned on only leaving it in secondary for about 2 weeks but I forgot it for about 4 months. I know that certain types of beer benefit from long aging but I don't think this is the case for an amber ale? This is the only batch of beer I have ever made as I usually make cider and mead. I'm not sure
If it's worth it to bottle it or if the time will have degraded the flavour. I plan on taste testing it,
But I'm not sure I'll be able to tell if it's worth bottling given my lack of experience with beer brewing. Also not sure it'll carb but I figure I can just suck up a little of the sediment into the bottling bucket. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I don't wanna waste time bottling it if it's gonna end up tasting bad.
Thanks!
