Today I’m finishing off my Ruby Return beer, which was bottled in November. I’d say that this tastes like the best bottle of the batch. Taste, of course, is a pretty subjective thing but it makes me think that, next time I brew that recipe, I’ll let it sit for a bit longer in the bottle.
It’s a risk of course, as not all homebrews keep so well, but I will make sure I add that observation back to my notes.
