How could anyone forget about beer?

[JONNYROTTEN]

I stare at my beer on a regular basis thinking how did you get so beautiful and when can i drink you.I read forums about people who "forgot" there beer was in the basement for six months,but it turned out great. The only thing I forgot in my basement was to clean it!

I've thought about that too but my thoughts usually turn to envy while imagining the size of the pipeline that must be involved.

It gets easier once you have a good supply of drink. And, not cleaning the basement helps hide the carboys.

For me, I have 5 taps flowing and a low consumption rate so it's easy to forget about a current batch.

I think some folks are just wired different. My problem is I don't forget. Drives people batty!!

I dont think I ever 'forget' about my beer, I just try to hurry up and have something to take my mind off of it when it turns out less than desirable. I have a haus ale that is coming up on 4-5 months old. Only because I went ahead and brewed some others that were tasty and helped me forget about how terrible it was. (emphasis on WAS)

If I have nothing else in the pipeline (or ready to drink) then its rather painful having to look at something that tastes like utter ass.

I forget about bottles all the time. Makes it so much better when I find them again. Although, I have weird habits of just putting bottles in different pantries, closets, and refrigerators.

Yep. I have gone from obsessing about each batch to having 7 batches going and forgetting when they will be ready. I have so many bottles in the garage that i have definitely lost track of what is going on in there.
