We brewed the extract version of https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/centennial-blonde-simple-4-all-grain-5-10-gall-42841/ on 8/9. It is a 10 gal. batch with 5 gal. in primary for 1 week and in secondary for 2 weeks. The other 5 gal. had 3 weeks in primary only. I wanted to see if secondary made any difference. Hit the target OG and FG. Bottled all of it 2 weeks ago and thought we would see how it was coming along. Bottles from both fermenters have a stong camphor taste. Very unpleasant. I know this is still green but I also have read that this beer is supposed to be drinkable in a shorter time.
So, what would cause this taste and will it clear up with more time?
