    Some days, I need to take a deep breath and back away from the internet.
     
  6. Whatever. I bet those things with tits can tell you a little bit about a specific, malleable metal called gold and what kind of diamonds they want with it!

    And here I thought you were going to talk about how beer cans are metal and that you're a subject matter expert.

    Color me disappointed. Talk of engagement rings from you? YOU? Unacceptable.

    Scratch yourself 10 times and let out a righteous belch.

    I'll be honest, I wouldn't have any idea what to talk about with either of those things.
     
  10. Your not an average thing with tits though. That's why I like you.

    Done and done.

    *Gasp!*

    I just found a beer in the back of the 'frige from... uh... 2 months ago.

    It's super cold... ooo, what are the odds that it is still good to quaff?

    Yeah, I was afraid to look. Getting my hopes up and then... the flashback:

    While in the military, I once left a big bottle of beer in my closet for what might have been six months... I then chilled it and attempted to drink it.

    MUDMOUTH'D!

    This reminds me of the time my brother and cousin thought it would be okay to drink beer that had frozen at the cottage over the winter:

    ASSPLOSION'D!

    You're fine. Baraka_Guru 's article plays it a little safe, in my opinion. One thing we've found with homebrew is that age can make a positive difference--up to a point. Light lagers and the like should be consumed relatively young. Hoppy beers sometimes do not age well; the hops can turn skunky. If the bottle is green or clear, the beer can take on nasty flavors because it's light-struck. Darker beers age better. However, after about 2 years, there's zero head retention and it will take on an almost soy saucy-umami flavor that isn't always pleasant.

    One weird beer that changed with age was one of my husband's first "mistakes." He and his buddy K. were brewing, and somehow what was supposed to be a 5 gallon batch turned into an 8 gallon batch. It turned into a session porter. Freshly out of carbonation, it wasn't great. A couple months later--it was amazing! Similarly, we did a Kentucky coffee porter that was a little green and turned into something really special with time.
