Here is my question and here is your answer I guess
A few weeks back I brewed my first ever Belgain Saison AG batch of beer... I'm a nOOb in the art of brewing but EVERYTHING went well because I invested in the equepement... I pitched Wyeast French Saison 3711 smack pack and let it sit for 11 days in primary then it seemed pretty still so I racked to secondary... Readings went form 1.060 to 1006 in 11 days only, pretty proud of my results and taste in the test tube after reading, I finally rack into secondary. Iet it sit for exactly 24 hours and the panic gets to me, I'm scared of infections so I cold crash it for 3 days just to let it clear out before racking it into my keg... I have another reading and a taste test and the taste was far from the first one I took 4 days ago, I say to myself what the heck i'll carb it up slowly at 12 PSI and let it be for a while... 4 days into carbing I took a sample to taste what it was with CO2 in the brew, the taste is, well, not that great... Nothing like the AG beers I tasted at my buddies house It has an ABV of 6.1% and realy has a hard taste to it... Actually I don't think I like this beer at all Is it because it is too young. I know I should have waited 30 days in primary but i'm a nOOb in the brewing industry... Will the beer get better with time or will it taste the farmhouse funk all the time... Maby the saison beers are just not for me I guess... I would like your feedback if possible... I was excited after the taste test after primary but now
