  • Bottle Conditioned Ale

    Which lasts longer on the shelf? Bottle conditioned beer (like Sierra) or filtered and force carbonated variety?

    How about an unfiltered beer that gets force carbonated and bottled, leaving a slight yeast residue in the bottle anyway?

    I am thinking that a filtered beer will have a longer shelf life if kept refrigerated, but at room temps (which lots of bottles see sometimes) the bottle conditioned ale might outlast....

    Also in general I would assume that the flavor profile of a filtered beer stays stable for a while, then crashes quickly if ever abused. A bottle conditioned beer might resist temp changes but will slowly and steadily "mature" losing it's initial freshness.

    All this is assuming we are making a wimpy weak beer, 6% or less abv.

    also thanks for the conduit/temp wire answers.
