Might have kicked the alcohol up a bit if brewed!

Kal...now seven years on and looking back, was there a point where you liked the hop profile best? I'm guessing all the aroma/flavor had subsided by 18-24 months. Also, are you thinking CO2 or a nitro gas mix for this beer?

I respect your comments. I think most people over-estimate taste evaluation and memory over time. Currently, do the bitter addition flavors come through, or have they dissipated too?

Just packaged my Social Isolation Barely Wine. OG 1.103 FG 1.016 for a healthy 11.3 ABV. The tasting at packaging for hop forward with hot alcohol, but very tasty. I am looking forward to the aging process.

Kal I oxygenated well and used a two step starter (1 pkg WLP001 and 3.5 liter starters) which seemed to help immensely.

Kal, I just brewed this barleywine tonight and am very happy with how it turned out. OG of 1.109 which I'm quite happy with. Tasted the wort after chilling and it was SWEET. I'm really looking forward to aging this and have a sneaking suspicion this will NOT be my only batch.
Thanks for all the work you put into these recipes and the build. I am really enjoying my brewery and the beers.
