    I'm wanting to age some corked Belgians and barleywines and I'm wondering how long before the cork will dry out and to bad. Any experiences with this?

    youll have to either contact the brewery, or search online for what kind of corks they use.

    are you layng it down or standing it?

    assuming the brewery isnt archaic. a modern cork shouldnt dry out at all. the problems come from a faulty cork in the first place. just dont store it in your fridge
