A few years ago I made a strawberry ale, recently opened the last bottle. The flavor profile had greatly increased to that of almost a strawberry jam.
Now I am looking to recreate, but keg instead of bottle. I was planning on a normal primary fermentation and then racking the beer over the strawberries in secondary for two weeks. Finally looking to move the third fermentation to allow for the beer to settle and develop depth of flavor. I have the ability to keep this third fermentation temperature controlled. I would like to keep the beer in this state for at least over a year.
Backstory complete, how long have you all kept beer un-carbonated or un-bottled?
I would appreciate any insight. Thank you in advance!
