I recently posted a thread about my first batch a beer(a moose drool clone) a few weeks ago. Long story short I screwed up on my measurements and ended up with about 3 1/2 gallons of beer instead of 5. A lot of people said that it's not a big deal and would just make the beer a bit stronger and perhaps better. I ended up diluting it with about a half gallon of clean water before I bottled it so it would be an even 4 gallons. It's been a week now since I bottled so I decided to try one out...and It tastes (not good). It has a strong coffee like aroma to it and a weird bitterness, not to mention it's very thick. I know it's still too early to judge my beer after only being bottled for one week, but can a few more weeks of bottle conditioning really change/improve the flavor that much? I just wanna know if it's worth waiting on because I have another batch fermenting and I could really use the bottles soon.
