I kegged my first brew last week, a dry stout. Before kegging, since I was going to force carb it, I let it sit in the secondary an extra few weeks, for a total of somewhere around a month.
I have had it in the keg for about a week and it is starting to hit the right spot in carbonation but the flavor is still off. It has a lot of the flavor that I want but with a definite sour flavor. Is it just green? Does it just need to sit in the keg for a few more weeks (it is under pressure and in a fridge) to age? My last bottled beer had some sour flavor but by the time it was carbonated that had gone away(it took close to three weeks to carb). This one has aged longer than that one did before it tasted good.
I probably just need to relax, I am past the point where I stress during the brew(in face my last one went near flawlessly), but I guess I still need to work on stressing after the brew.
Thanks.
