Hi everybody. Two friends and me brewed our first extract kit earlier on this month. We didn't figure the hydrometer out so we have no readings. Bummer!
We bottled the beer Saturday March 25th. The instructions say to wait 2 to 3 weeks before it's ready to drink. I'm fine with that but I tried one tonight March 29th to see what had happened. It was carbonated but it tasted way too sweet and even smelled sweet. Does this go away over time during bottle conditioning or was this something that happened during the brewing process? This is all very fascinating.
