On June 5, I made a batch of an alpha king clone. Pretty good going in to the primary. June 13, even better going in to the secondary. June 24, really good going in to the bottles. Fast forward to July 15th - I eagerly open a bottle. Nice "pssst", pours very nice, good head....take a swig....Bleckhhhh!!! (Picture Spaulding drinking from a glass full of whiskey and cigarette butts in Caddyshack). Alright, maybe still a little green. Give it some more time. Fast forward to yesterday. It tastes as atrocious as the first day I opened it.
Alright, I'm not going to lament about where this one went wrong. I just need to re-trace my steps and see where a problem arrived. My question is at what point do you say the hell with it, give up all hope, pour the swill down the drain and re-use the bottles? I mean, after three months, is all hope lost or is more time needed?
