I decided to check out some of my beengs and see if my 06's are aging correctly. Well, I decided to go with the 06' Spring of Menghai by Dayi. After two years of careful aging you can certainly see the difference! The color looks richer and the taste is mellowing however far from over.

Thanks Brandon! Although, I must admit, I have have only been using "Medusa" for only 3 months. But nevertheless, my closet is a constant 65% RH without it only very little flucuation.brandon wrote:Nice work Hop! Medusa wins.

Yes, it is indeed working. The flavors are still quite strong and somewhat aggressive. But I would expect this from that they are spring material in addition to being so young. The flavors are becomming a bit more layered. They are doing well!shogun89 wrote:Thats pretty cool Hop! Hows the flavor? It seems your closet puidor is working quite efficiently.
