Hi everybody, awesome forum and so much great info.
Question for you.
I've done my first batch of brew from a kit (Brew House Premium Prairie Wheat)
and all went well.
All the milestones were hit as outlined on this site and the package.
the Alcohol is 4.6% when I bottled it.
Bottling went fine and I waited 2 weeks before opening my first bottle
So excited I opened my first bottle, it fizzed appropriately, poured in a glass and it looked ok, but when I tasted it, it was very very weak. No feet smell/taste, didnt taste bad, just really weak. not very drinkable either.
Now the beer has sat for about 2 months, I figured maybe it needed to age in its own self worth. nada.. its just as bland and really quite flavourless.
I followed the instructions and used the right amount of water and everything.
Is this common?
is there a usual suspect for this issue?
thanks in advance
