Well, I used a Munton's kit to try out beer brewing to see if I'm gonna like it. I'm really enjoying the cider thing, and hope to get into Beer. I let it sit for two weeks in the fermenter (the instructions said 1 week), and then bottled. They have been in the bottles for 3 weeks now. I have tried one after each week. So far, it is not good. There is a very strange off-taste that I do not like. I assume they will get better with age, but I'm curious how long I should let them age?
I used 2.2lbs of DME with the 6 gallons of beer. It fermented between 65-75 degrees, mostly around 72. From what I've heard, the higher temps could be what caused this flavor. Otherwise, it looks good and is carbed good, I guess I'll just wait it out.
