I recently brewed a Dogfish Head 60 min clone. It fermented in primary for a week. I dry hopped and fermented in secondary for another ten days. It has now been bottle conditioning for 8 days. I tried a bottle at 5 days (because my curiosity got the best of me) and it was pretty flat as expected. I tried another at 7 days and the beer had a nice head but was still lacking in carbonation. I had another tonight and the carbonation is much better. However, it tastes slightly unbalanced. Hops are dominant and the malt taste is lacking. I know this is a hoppy beer and the beer could probably use a few more weeks aging. My question is will the hops mellow out a bit with time and bring out the other flavors that seem dormant right now?
