Hello all,
Just bottled a Scotch ale tonight. The beer was my second batch and a Brewcraft beer. The beer is now 2 months old and as I took a gravity reading I tasted it and spit it out. It tasted gross. Almost like vinegar. I did not have a temperature controller as I do now and perhaps was not ready to make a big beer like this.
Well my question is am I doomed?? I know certain flavors improve or mellow after aging, but this beer tastes real bad. Is there any hope or is it infected?? The kit recommends aging at low temperatures which I could not do at the time but can now. Is it worth giving it the time??
Any help would be appreciated. My 3 batches after making this beer came out great and hope to not have to dump this one.
Thanks again
