Some thoughts...

Aging....

Ah aging....

I thought this was totally crap when I first started brewing. Boy was I wrong! This is definitely worth looking into.

Case in point. I brewed a fortified mead (a mead mixed with hard booze) I think last April-May. I have left it to age both in bulk in the carboy for a month or so and after that it has been aging in bottles. Boy is it tasty!

Makes me almost want to buy this so I don't need to wait as long:




Now my stuff is by no means "cheap plonk" but DAMN. If a few months did this, I can only imagine what years would do.

If I could only get my mead to last that long....

Oh well...
