I will keep having samples every now and again, not as if I need to open a bottle every time. If its a year then it's a year!

Will be interested to hear what @Poochops rochefort 10 clone is tasting like after 56 weeks!

Updated my brewday thread for you mate.
 
[QUOTE="Poochops, post: 806079, member: 16634"yours is less than a month in the bottle so it's not even got started conditioning properly yet, I think 6 months or more is needed for it to settle down properly
Wait, what? 6 months? I've read/own homebrewing and brewing books, talked to brewers and never once have seen or heard reference to such lengths of time. Sure, a beer may change character over time, but shouldn't require that time to become drinkable.

Edit: Just had a flick through Brew Like A Monk. Around 2-6 weeks in secondary appears to be the standard practice.[/QUOTE]


Yeah thanks for that, it wasn't clear from my reply but I was actually replying in the context of a brew that's gone awry, which the OP's evidently had. sorry I didn't make that clear.
