Well, I just finished bottling #50 12.7% Barleywines and #52 12.2% Russian Imperial Stouts and they will be aging in my cupboard until Christmas! I brewed them both in January.

I have kegging for the last 7 months and have forgotten what a mess bottling can be when:
1. Your autosiphon breaks
2. You dont have tubing that fits your bottling wand anymore because you are an idiot and you threw the tubing away.

and
3. Slipped on the beer, flew into the air like one of the 3 stooges and broke your iPhone 4 screen.

Phew. Anyway, Im all stocked up for winter and I dont have to bottle again until next year. Yeah!

Oh and at bottling, the barleywine tasted amazing, while the RIS tasted like Rasputin's A$$hol3 dipped in robatussin. Its going to need more time.

Congrats! Kegged a RIS today for bulk aging. Gonna let it ride until end of January for my birthday before tapping. Will bottle a few from the keg also to give away.
 
What was the RIS recipe? I'm gearing up for my second and I'm trying to evade that sour flavor of satan's anus at every turn. What do you think contributed to the harshness in this batch?
 
damnit ive been wanting to brew a RIS for forever but havent got around to it yet... got a nice porter in the works though...

Sorry I was out of town for the weekend and I couldnt get to a computer to respond. I think that because the recipe had 12 lbs of extract, the beer will just need some time.

It seems in my experience, that extract brews sometimes take a little longer to age.
