I recently made my first american barleywine about a week and a half ago. I did a gravity check the other day to see how things was going, and tasted it. It had a OG of 1.114 and IBU of 99. Now the SG is 1.029. At first it tasted good, a little sweet with a good bitterness, but the bitterness lingered to leave a bad bitter after bite. Is this normal for a green barleywine? Will this go away when I age it?
