My first batch of homebrew was on Labor Day, 2011. Since then I have brewed maybe 8 times. I have also made two batches of Apfelwein.
Up until now, I have saved a single 12 oz. bottle from each batch. They are collecting dust in a dark corner of my basement. I got to thinking... why am I doing this? They are all relatively low gravity ales and shouldn't keep well for the long haul. I almost threw them in the fridge the other day and I decided to poll ya'll instead. (note: no poll actually included in thread, I know this!)
Is this a habit that you are into? Should I continue to save them and then someday... do something... with them? Or should I chuck them in the fridge and drink them tomorrow?!
