Porter (first brew) was in bottles for 12 days when I threw 2 in the fridge to have a taste. After only 24 hours, I did it, I cracked the first one after dinner.
It was perfectly carbonated and sounded like a "real beer" when I popped the cap. It looked good, it smelled good, I was stoked. The taste: it had a hint off something off (as I expected after reading all the "3 weeks in bottles" on here). I would describe it as what others have called green apple taste.
Was it horrible? I'll let you know when done with the second. I've already put another in the fridge to see what 4 days or so in the fridge will do to it. I'll stick a slew of them in the fridge next week at this time.
