I brewed an old ale / barley wine on 10-29-10. It started at 1.12 and finished at 1.014,(14%ish) I put it in a secondary after 5 weeks of fermentation and there it has sat with oak cubes ever since in the fruit cellar at ambient 61 degrees. This was a total experiment and to be honest one that I sort of forgot about for the last several months. Luckily, the airlock still had water in it when I rediscovered it yesterday. I tasted a sample and to my suprise it was not bad, the strong flavors have really calmed down to give it a nice old ale tase, however at 1.014 it doesn't have the body that i would have liked.
My question is what can/ should I do with this. Can I add some yeast and bottle as usual or would it be better to keg force carb then bottle? Also how long will this stuff keep at cellar temeratures.
