something like BM Cent. Blonde, for those of you who bottle condition, how long after bottling do you finally feel its "ready"?
i'm worried my temp's in the basement got a little high, no higher then 71 or 72. and it was my 3rd all-grain batch (BM Cent. Blonde). but after 2 weeks in bottles it tasted great, but maybe just a little green, carb'ed up well and everything. i had two last night...its now in bottles like 3.5 weeks and it tasted like rubbing alcohol mixed with the beer. its still drink able, but no where near what the bottles i had 1.5 weeks ago. these have been in the frig for about 4 days before i had them last night. the ones i had a 1.5 weeks ago were only in the frig maybe 2 days.
so i have some more in the frig, i hope its just a freak thing with two bottles, the beer tasted so good when i tried the first bottles.
