The upside? Active yeast in the bottle scrubs O2 and carbonates the beer.The downside? Sediment in the bottle from settled yeast.And possible explosive bottles. That's the way they did it back in the "bad old days".

If I bulk age, I rack the beer then add about 50g of invert sugar. The yeast will act up again and purge the oxygen.Cheap, easy, works for me.mjk
Restarts the air lock to bubbling.One more thing about bulk aging especially for a high alcohol brew.Pitch some fresh yeast at bottling that is of course if you are bottling. Seem the longer the yeast sits without activity the tougher it is to carbonate/get out of dormancy.I always bottle because I cant afford a keg. I think I would always bottle some beer even if I had a keg.One extra day of fun and beer!
