Time heals all wounds (well most anyway)

[SAHomeBrew]

Back in December I brewed an IPA that I had planned on taking to a friends birthday bash in March, but it came out really malty  ??? So instead of dumping it (I have plenty of bottles for now) I just kept it in the "other room" in the house.

A full 7 months (6?) later I try one again... well almost all the maltiness has gone, the hops is finally showing up, and it's crystal clear (well not crystal, kinda a nice amber tone) but it's not cloudy at all.

Sometimes patients should win when we brew.

I've had brews like that, turn out great after all.

Don't you love that  Beer is a living breathing thing.

I don't touch my barlywine for a full 12 months.  I brew in on Thanksgiving and put it out of site after it is bottled.
