Hi all,
I brewed a Belgian wheat beer, and had it in the fermenter for more than three weeks. Carbonated with cane sugar, 6 g per litre. After two weeks in bottle, I tasted the first one, and it has a sweet taste, like the sugar has not been converted to alcohol and CO2. Here is my recipe:
3.3 lb wheat malt extract (liquid)
1 lb wheat malt extract (dry)
4 lb Belgian pilsen malt
1 lb wheat flakes
1.5 oz orange peel
1.5 oz Halls Hersbrucker
Fermentis belgian wheat dry yeast
Its a partial mash, mashing at 148ºF for 60 minutes.
The problem is I don´t like this sweet taste, and I don´t know where does it come from! My thought is the fermentation was too long (25 days) and the sugar didn´t convert to alcohol and CO2. Could it be so? Any way to overcome this?
Thank you all!!
