    Just curious how hotd otto and adam age? I have some small format bottles that I have and am going to drink soon. Just curious on how these age. Does the large format play into it?

    I too have a 1L Otto from the wood, with the regular flip top cap. I'm not sure how long I can hold on to it before I need to drink it.

    I'm weary of the flip-top seal, but the beers themselves can go a long time. Basically as long as you want to wait, they'll be good.

    That's good to keep in mind with the flip top. I'll cellar em till a big tasting. Thanks for the advice

    As long as the flip top is seated correctly it should be fine. De Dolle and Fantome have used them before and their beers have aged just fine. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    regardless, I put a zip tie on the wire cage to make sure there isn't an accidental bump to cause it to open...
