Just bottled my first batch, last night.
Tasted one...tastes gross. I knew it wasn't going to be too amazing as I was going off of a basic recipe, but this one tastes...weird. The alcohol and beer flavors are somehow "separate".
For example, most beers, you take a swill in your mouth and you get a mix of all the flavors. The malt...the hops, etc. Mine tastes distinctly separate. You taste the alcohol, then you taste water. (Only ~3% ABV...didn't boil long enough. :facepalm: ) But it doesn't taste like a super-light beer...as I said, its like the flavors don't mesh.
I know the beer is still really green and needs to develop carbonation, but another thing is that there is a LOT of sediment. It has a milky white sediment. Is it really just the yeast and other things that have fallen out of suspension, or is it something else? After all, I racked to a secondary, so you'd imagine the beer would naturally have less sediment in it.
