Bottle conditioned strong beers

Thu Nov 06, 2008 3:31 pm

Has anyone ever made a bottle conditioned barleywine or doppelbock or some other ultra strong beer that they bottle conditioned and let age for a year or more? I made an imperial oatmeal stout and a dark barleywine before I came to new zealand and bottled them. I will be drinking them when I get back, they will have been aging for 11 months. Will they be ok with the yeast sitting on the bottom of the bottle?

I have aged Belgians and some other strong beers for quite a while in the bottle. I try to drop out as much as possible before bottling. As long as you keep them cool they will be fine. The amount of yeast in the bottom is negligible.
