I just tried a bottle of a peach IPA that had been bottle conditioning for 3 weeks. It has a strong alcoholic aftertaste which I am guessing is the fusel taste? The yeast I used is "SAFALE US-05 DRY AMERICAN ALE YEAST" I'm not sure if just needs to condition a little longer, or if it is from too-high fermentation temps. I've brewed 4 batches before, and never had to worry about it being too warm because I lived in a basement apartment and it was always cool... but now I'm up on the fourth floor and while the apartment is generally around 73 degrees, it may have gotten up above 75 from time to time during the fermentation. i'm not sure what a 'green' beer tastes like, or what it tastes like if the beer is not finished bottle conditioning yet, so I 'm not sure if that is all the taste is. It's well carbonated, and tastes delicious except for the burny afteraste.
Thanks!
