fermentation question

hey.............got a suprise friday when i came home from work.........not the beer........my wifes water broke.  Now I am the proud father of a baby boy........5 weeks premature but he is doing good now. 

The beer did turn out to be fermented all the way.  I bottled it tuesday and tried a bit tonight.  It has a strange and great flavor...........honestly it resembles smitwiches or guiness but less thick.  Not what I expected but none the less the beer is very drinkable. 

I would like to know if anyone has any experience on what age will do to this type of beer.  I have put forth the methods I used in previous posts..........I used a glass carboy.

I also tried something different...........this is a neat concept........prob not original but when I siphon off the beer to put into the bottler I always have about a half gallon left that has a lot of sediment.  This time when I got to this point I stirred it up and pushed it through the siphon which filters it.......sort of.......

I wannna see what the difference in tasteis between the beer that has settled..........then bottled and the beer that was stirred a second time and then bottled.

i know that one will have catfish food at the bottom of the bottle but over time will it affect the taste, body head etc. of the poured beer.  As I am always careful to pour without disrupting the sediment.I


Thanks
Ill let ya know what my take is on this in a week or so.

Stirring up the fermented beer like that might have oxidized it. So be prepared for a weird cardboard taste. Might not have but could.


Congrats on the new tax break! So what did you name him? Brew Hefner?
