Due to some excessive travel and work commitments this summer, I had to leave 2 beers to languish in the fermenters. RDWHAHB and all that, but I'm wondering if I'd be likely wasting my time to bottle them at this point.
The victims:
AHS Budget IPA (this one's dry-hopped w/ 1/2 oz of Falconers)
5.25 gal batch
1 week in 6.5 gal glass, 19 weeks in 5.5 gal glass
AHS Cantankerous Ale (no dry hop)
5.25 gal batch
19 weeks in 6.5 gal glass
Since I was traveling, I don't believe the temp ever got more than 80º, but could've gotten as high as 88º in the house.
So my question: do I bottle and see or is it a lost cause?
[EDIT: *could've* gotten as high as 88º, not couldn't]
