I brewed an IPA with warrior for bittering and late hop additions of citra, mosaic, and chinook in equal doses. The IBU's were around 60-70 I believe. The flavor has been quite good, but it keeps morphing. When I tasted it in primary, it was a deadlock for Creature Comforts Tropicalia, with additional hints of pineapple. It hit two weeks in bottle conditioning about two days ago and was very catty. Today, the cattiness has diminished, but it remains very funky.
That's ok to me, but I'm heading out of country for 16 days. I know that aging will completely change this beer. Should I leave it in the dark in my apartment at 78 degrees or should I refrigerate it? By the time I get back, it will have been about a month and a week since I bottled...
So in short, how should I store it and does the way I store it affect how quickly the cattiness diminishes?
