Just looking for opinions / guidance.
I brewed 2 batches of beer (5 gallons each) about 5 years ago and still have them in my basement. Both batches were brewed, yeast added, fermentation completed with airlocks and the airlocks were filled with water for over a year. 1 is in a glass carboy and 1 is in a 5 gallon bucket with no water in the airlocks for about 4 years. Sooo ... is this garbage? Any suggestions on what to do with this stuff? If I try to bottle it how would that work since the yeast would most definitely be dead by now? Pitch a yeast packet and wait a few days then bottle?
Cliff's Notes: old beer still in carboy / bucket what to do with it?
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
ps ... anybody in NJ that makes hard liquor / has a still want this?
