Thanks to Evan! I re-read that article that included a gueze recipe. I am planning on starting my gueze beer mission this summer and have a few questions. First here is my general plan....
I brew in 10g batches. This spring or early summer, I will brew my first gueze batch. This will age in two 5g carboys.
Next spring or early summer I will brew the second gueze. And the third spring the third gueze.
After the third year, I will blend one 5g carboy of each batch. The remaining 5g carboy of each batch will be saved for the next years blending. This way I should have 5g of gueze to drink each year.
My question is.... in the article the say:
Is this all in the plastic primary? Doesn't this seem like too much O2 and what about autolysis over three years? I have been trying to research this as best I may but as the date approaches I want alol my questions answered.
Thanks,
Justin

My question is.... in the article the say:
Ferment beer at 70 °F (21 °C) in a plastic bucket for one week. Let beer condition at 7080 °F (2127 °C) for 3 months, then hold at room temperature. Do not rack to secondary.
