Hi all
I bottled an APA after two weeks in the primary (FG was in fact lower than expected) and I cracked open a bottle a week after bottling day just to check how it was developing .... all I get when I sip on it is the taste of yeast!! Also it is cloudy and the color is more like 14/15 SRM instead of 9 like in the original recipe.
Three days after brewing, I hadn't seen any activity in the fermenter and I thought that the yeast had been killed because I pitched into the wort before it cooled down. So I had pitched in a second packet of yeast.
Now as I think back, should I have left it in the primary for a longer period of time? I bottled because the FG reading was quite low!! Is there anything I can do now or will the yeasty taste go down after more time in the bottles?
Thanks
