Maybe I should break out that Brown ale tin kit I bought pre covid lockdown, it'll never be drunk in the tin will it.

It's great to see that a few others are willing to actually try things instead of just imagining.

However, do you think you'll be able to repeat that same taste again?

Been there (old ingredients), done that (decided I have better things to do with my hobby time).

Fresh ingredients make better beer.

Right, but no one should be buying kit beer and letting it sit for 5 years to see how well it's aged before actually making the beer. Recommending that makes absolutely no sense, but it is comical, and I will give you that...but that's all you get

I'm currently drinking a beer that is a blend of six beers I brewed annually from 2010-2015. Who says you can't pre-age your beer with aged extract.

Lol i didn't buy it. It was given to me by a friend that never got into the hobby. It hurt my feelings to throw it out.

Sounds interesting you mixed 6 beers into one glass?

Im not sure boss. I mean it was just a kit. I didn't have to calculate anything really. It's kinda like making boxed brownies if you think about it. I can't take any credit for it other than I tried and didn't just toss it.

Beer #2 carbonation improving. Taste pretty much like the last one.

Great it turned out a dark beer.
Best beer I used to make with extract back in the 90's was the Dave Line Brewing Beers like those you buy Theakstons old peculier.

Probably should have another crack at it if I can get the book back from a friend I lent it to when he started all grain brewing Ten years ago.

Well, as long as you don't think it was a waste of time. Try one warm just to see if the cold is stunning your tastebuds.

No it was a sour beer I started as a single vessel continuous blend (what we used to/still sometimes call a single vessel solera). Each December I would pull a portion and replace it with the same wort. Over time you at least theoretically end up with small amounts of all the previous beers in each extraction.

How about buying a beer kit and letting it sit for 5 years and then sell on eBay as "vintage" and/or "rare"?
