This is my first brew. Anyway, when I was transferring it to a secondary I took a sample for a reading and a quick taste. First of all the H. reading was .002 higher than the stated 1.012 TG.
And more importantly, I thought that it had a bit of a sour taste to it (it did smell pretty good though).
Now, I realize that it hasn't been carbonated yet, but how normal is this? Could it also be due to the fact that it hasn't completely finished fermenting?
This is a Brown ale made from extract.
I was thinking of taking out enough to fill 1 bottle to carbonate and try out before secondary was over with in order to know beforehand whether it was spoiled or not. Any ideas on this?
Maybe I'm just thinking too much. eh?
