It’s pretty good! Definitely have room to improve, but it tastes alright. And now I have beer for the next 3 weeks…

    Try saving some for aging, properly made homebrews, unlike commercial packaging, store for ages and improve marvelously. Nobody told me this when I started.

      How long though? It will peak at some point and then it’s all downhill after that. I usually just end up drinking pretty quickly as I run out of bottles and space to store everything (and beer in the fridge).

        I don’t know! All I know is that those that were stored for about 5 years were still getting better.

          Depends on the style. An IPA won’t last as long. Won’t go bad but may oxidize and get some strange flavors.

            Now that I think about it, do you remember how and, more importantly, why IPA style came to be?

            Although modern “IPA” with less than 5% ABV is nothing like the good old one, and nothing like what I brew for that matter.
