I brewed a Kentucky Common from a thread on this board, and after 3 weeks in primary and 2 weeks in secondary, it came out with a strong green apple flavor. I have read many threads on the board about green apple flavor but don't know how to best save this beer.
At first I thought some carbonation and some dryhopping may help, so I moved it into a Corny in the fridge, on 30lbs co2 with 1 oz Willamette hops hanging on a string inside the corny. I had sterlized the hop bag and string beforehand.
2 days later, I could taste no difference, so I removed the corny from the fridge and let it come to room temp, thinking that this may help the hops to condition the beer and mellow the green apple flavor.
Did I harm the beer by removing it from the fridge and taking it off the co2? Any other recommendations?
Thanks!
