just opened an IPA that I was expecting to be great but its sweet??
It's only been bottled two weeks and is not fully carbed so I'm sure the yeast needs some time to work, but I didn't expect it to be this sweet when it finished at 1.012. The only thing I can think of is I added a small amount of cane suger to my priming sugar because I was a little short.
Am I tasting this, prior to the yeast consuming it? OG was 1.063 Fg 1.012
