No, don't need marriage advice....ha ha...but, if some of ya'll have been following my stupid newbie questions this first week, you'd know that I think my first batch ever of brew, American Amber BB kit, is trashed. It just didn't look nor tasted like beer when I racked to the bottles last Friday. One week in the primary (bubbling was finished) one week in the secondary and now one week in the bottle. I should wait for two weeks in the bottles, I know, but I just can't help it. Driving me nuts. If this batch is toast, then I want to dump in out , clean the bottles and make room for some actual good brew. My techniques were all FU'ed for the first round and I suspect a LOT of things went wrong. If I pop one open, after chlling and being this "early", would I expect to tast something like beer but may need more time? Any pointers?
