Hi guys,
I would not consider myself a beginner brewer, but I feel my question is a beginner question (if that even makes sense..).
Anyhow, I brewed a clone of Magic Hat #9 about 2 1/2 weeks ago from the Can You Brew It recipe. Everything went well and I kegged late Saturday night and added my apricot extract to flavor. At this point, I thought it tasted wonderful, even though it was warm and uncarbonated.
I put the CO2 up to 20 because I am having a big BBQ saturday and want this beer to be on with my other 5 brews I have on tap (just added 2 more taps to the keezer). So, while I am not concerned about the beer in the long run, right now it isn't getting a head yet (which is fine) but it also tastes watery/thin now compared to how it tasted before I put it into the keezer. What could cause this? I am assuming it just needs conditioning and will be fine over some time, but was really hoping for this beer to be on for Saturday.
