so i havent been homebrewing for too long, but long enough to know that a beers flavor can change considerably through the process, i am just looking for some reassurance here...
i brewed my first pale ale a little over a week ago. im using a fairly hoppy recipe with some really aggressive bittering hops (1 oz warrior, 16% alpha). i tasted it today when i transfered from primary to secondary and it was not very good at all. not completely awful or undrinkable, but not good.... i know i know its way too early to judge. very bitter, but not good pale bitter with a really wierd after flavor.
every other beer that i have brewed and tasted between primary and secondary has been at least comporable to what the final product tasted like...but i hope this one evolves considerably. most of my other beers, however, have been fairly malty (amber, dry stout, red) and im thinking that maybe the flavors evolve differently in a malty beer as apposed to a hoppy beer??? what do you think? experiences? way to early in the process to even consider???
