Number 5 is ready now. I don't think counter pressure filled bottles will continue to age right? Either way it should probably go in the fridge.
 
#7 rye bock, was badly filled from a keg so the carbonation may be a bit lacking. It's good to drink now but a little ageing probably won't hurt it.
 
#2 wet hopped IIPA is ready to go now and will be best fresh.
 
#9 should be good to drink about now but I'd probably give it a month. Incidentally, if you got the two stubbies, it's a slightly different beer to the long necks. As I mentioned earlier, I lost a couple of beers when another beer fell onto them and smashed a couple. So the two stubbies are a spiced Christmas ale based on the same recipe. I'd definitely give the stubbies a month.

was a great day. Mucho gracious to Mike and his lovely missus for being great hosts. Good to meet and talk brewing.

Isn't it ironic that we hold a case swap virtually (as distinct from in it) in Barls' backyard and the weak bastard chooses family over brewers.

Where is the love ......................
