My first batch (Cooper's kit) was fermented in primary pretty hot: around 75 - 80 degrees for a week. Then straight to bottles, with carbonation drops, just recently got to 21 days at 69 - 72 degrees. (Ale yeast.)
Tastes very fruity, but also very cider-y. Not great. I understand (from reading here) that I shouldn't pour this out, and instead should forget about those bottles for a couple of months and let them get better.
Question: What temperature should I store them at, for this prolonged healing process? Keep them at 70? Drop to 65? I also have a basement that stays at 50 - 55.
Thanks for all the advice!
