Hi
I have a batch of what can best be described as a wheat chocolate oatmeal stout, where all pilsner malt was substituted for wheat malt, the only barley found in the dark malts. It had a fairly high FG of around 1017, OG 1055. It was fabulous but staled faster than I had hoped and was used to. It then occurred to me, could it get good again if I added a Belgian bug mix? Could it be the case that the lacto, pedio and bretts could chew up the staling compounds given a year or so or would I just waste my and my keg’s time?
Have I just suggested the cure for stale beer? [emoji6]
