I think i just committed a few brewing sins that may cause a batch to be lost. The batch in question is the Northern Brewer all-grain cream ale kit. I've made the kit before and it is a great break from "heavier" beers. I left it in primary for 10 days (first sin) and decided to keg it so I could brew another cream ale and use the yeast cake. I racked to my keg without checking the gravity(second sin) as I knew it was done fermenting and I wanted a backup keg ready to go. I tasted the brew during racking and it tasted hot and slightly metallic... had an almost cidery taste to it.
Here is my question. The brew is now kegged, so do I just let it sit for a few weeks and hope it mellows or is there no chance of that since it is kegged? Can I put it back into a carboy and hope things calm down or is it too late for that?
