Bottled a 4-gal batch of my variation of the 090909 Barleywine yesterday.
No haven't moved to kegging yet. I don't mind bottling at all. I've got a process that works for me. It's 5-weeks old, been at a stable gravity for 2 weeks now. And smells incredible, but still a powerful bitter. Hopefully I can stash these and keep my hands off them until 2011!
And for those who have sharp eyes (I know you're out there), yes, those are all reused twist-off Boulevard bottles. My Colona bench corker/capper puts a solid seal on those. Tight enough I can't twist them off with my bare hands.
Somebody needs to make an "I love my Colona" bumper sticker.
