was reading through some things, and had some weird ideas and questions..
so, the original India Pale Ales were dry hopped in barrels and transported on a boat that went across the sea to India, or something like that? Assuming this would subject the beer to some interesting conditions, I can only imagine the sun destroying the beer and hop character on the voyage.
My question on this sort of thing if anyone has insights, as to what the effects of hot oak conditioned ale would be. If i primary for 2 weeks at about 70ºF, and then double dry hop it into a secondary with some oak chips, and toss the thing in the trunk of my car for 2 months, what am i looking at here?
