...6-8 months for a berliner is insane. It might work, but it is a waste of time. You should be drinking this within a month...

Hehe. Yeah, I know

I did a 15 gal no boil batch and drank the first 5 gal within a month or so and it was OK. The other 5 gal I left plain and bottled something like 8-9 months later, and the other one I aged on raspberries and bottled after almost a year. Both of those are WAY more interesting than the young version.

This was not sour mashed I'd guess?

Mashed, ran off, cooled, pitched.
