Ive only been hbing it since this January. But about 2 1/2 years ago my life was changed. Yes indeed. I didn't even know of home brewing, or that it was even possible. As kind of a barter or favor i guess for a co worker i got 8 cases of fizzing "holy water". My only regret now is that i didn't save more of this stuff and shown it to an experienced brewer. When i got it, it was already aged a year and a half old he said. Some of it dark, red, blonde, cerveca, all types. There were about half of them that tasted some how like awesome amazing beets kind of. I know Belgian stuff is made of that but Ive never heard of the beet flavor coming out. Flavors that i can't even describe, Delightfully refreshing, completely thirst quenching sourness in some. Their activity in the carbonation was out of this world. Everything made me buzzed as nuts, but not tired. Never had a hangover from it. Some tasted like some kind of alien tea.
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FROM AGING I PRESUME!!!
I'm a bastard for not saving more, as i talked to him the other day and it seems hes only doing single giant batches of incredibly light beer. He's a much older fellow who is very quiet and.... no, say's he wouldn't need any help. Anyways 4 months to a year after that, the beer completely screwed up my palate! It made me ask...
Am i drinking this for just the alcohol effect? Or because it's good for my taste buds?
That's what led me to here.
