Long Term Brew Schedule

[ballstorm]

So my wife and I are going to be moving in about a month. It will be a good 4-5 months after that until we will be settled into a new place that would be able to support a brewery. My gear is at my current brew space and will be able to remain there as long as needed. With this significant break in brewing, i'd like to brew something now, that will be able to age during the 4-5 month interim.

I was thinking a saison would age well and be ready for the summer months.

any suggestions/recipes?

Tripel, maybe? Saison would be good too.

I have a sour that has to sit in the primary for six months. I also have a bourbon barrel porter that I did 5-6 months ago and it's just now starting to get really nice, had a little too much oak for my taste for those first few months. Probably only have 1/2 the keg left though, next time I'm going to brew it and just put it away.

In Brewing Classic Styles, Jamil says that Scottish 60/70/80 schilling beers get better with some age. A Imperial Stout would be a good choice too. Basically any beer with a decent amount of roasted malts reacts well to long aging periods. Jamil mentioned once that the roasted malts have a anti-stalling effect.
