I love beer. Happy New Year.
I second both sentiments
I love beer. Happy New Year.
I believe you mentioned that you were going to dry hop this beer? But then you weren't going to drink it for 5 years? Will any of the benefits from dry hopping still be detectable then? I've never aged a beer for that long so i really have no idea. I have a couple 2-3 year old Belgians and stouts, but the didn't have a lot of hop flavor/aroma to begin with so I don't really have anything to compare.
I won't have the answer for 5 years.
I figure like anything, if I over DH like I over hopped, there might be some lingering aroma and flavors left over. Especially with aroma, if I go from the hooped to the bottle, I'm in a sense trapping aroma in. So who knows. It's not going to hurt it, so why not?
I'd definitely try to dry it out more. Drinkability in a barleywine is an unusual but beautiful thing.
I'm assuming you drank this without carbonation? What are your plans for C02 volume when all is said and done?
That's cool.
Are you happy with the progress this far? We got an analysis of the aroma/taste , but we didn't hear your thoughts.
It was fun reading this whole thread last night. You guys were (and still are) all awesome in support of me during that scary time, and in making this project!!
I'm working on a label and am planning to put all your HBT names on it as helpers of the brew.
I thought I posted the label for this.
