Primary fermentation left for over 2yrs. Will it be OK?

[geetee]

Work commitments. I've changed jobs twice and had quite a massive period of training for both roles so not had the time to do the brewing and spend time with the family as well. Plus the shed where it is got a right mess and has only just been sorted out.

You're not Reggie Perrin in disguise are you?
I reckon it will be yeast bitten and taste awful, Start again and don't forget where you put it this time!

Just been back to it and the smell isn't really screaming at me "I'm going to be delicious!".

.... Classic!!

In theory what's the worst that could happen?

Shame I didn't brew a Dr. Pepper clone then :)

Have you chucked this? Of still contemplating bottling it?

 

[dad_of_jon]

I'd bottle one and try it in two weeks. It's been there a year so another two weeks won't hurt!
I suspect yeast autolysis would be your main (potential) issue.
Is it kit or ag?

Who knows, you may have just started a new craze in primary fermentation!

that should give it a meaty flavour?

Take one for the team!

We all want to know what it tastes like (without really having the desire to try it), so I now feel it is incumbent on you to try it, as you have piqued our interest!

He did.

The hospital have said he should pull through.. but they are struggling with the meaty yeast stench that emits

that's not got anything to do with tasting the beer though!

I'd look upon it as the opportunity of a lifetime. You could indeed have brewed something quite unique that will change the face of brewing forever. Even BrewDog would stop well short of this!!
It has to be sampled.... I would! :whistle::whistle:






Well, actually.... I mean, if you really push me to come clean on this one.... Errr :-?

Botulism?......

My whole family is concerned by now, they keep asking about the guy with the 2 year old brew :-?

 

[kodak79]

Did he do it? Did he come through the other side?

 

[Wilfy]

Send me a bottle. I'll drink owt.

Stir in a dissolved and crushed campden tablet to kill anything that might make you a bad person to be nearby, bottle some and try it. Alternatively get a mate drunk and offer him a bottle of that finest trappist ale you've got.

The OPs last activity was 21 June 2016. I fear he may have succumbed to the bugs that had grown in his beer!
