    first-timer freaking out

    Same thing happened here on my first brew, could be the fermenter not fully sealed.

    Sahti, boozy sahti, is it normal? (Bottle conditioned for a week)

    Hello! I have made my first sahti, my strongest beer so far at 8.5%, it has been in a bottle for a week, just tired it and it reminds more of wine aromas wise, and tastes very overpowering boozy and sharp? Not sure if everything is okay or if I should leave it to condition in bottle for longer...
