Conditioning a Barleywine

[dstar26t]

I have a variant of the BCS Barleywine that is 2 years old now. It was much better at 6 months when it achieved 4th best of show in a large competition (War of the Worts). Should have drank it all then and brewed it again. Definitely age it in a keg with CO2.

I always rack directly to a keg after a month in primary. I then stick the keg under the stairs in the basement and forget about it for a year or so. I just stuck a 2 year old BW in the kegerator last night so it will be cold and adjust the carbonation just in time for Christmas dinner and New Years Eve.
