So, my lager has finished fermenting and is at 1.012'ish, and been lagering for 3 weeks @ 2'C, but it has a sweet fruity taste. I have had this before and it does go away after long bottle conditioning, but what is it? could it be esters? I pitched below 10'C and recipe is basicaly: pale malt(4kg), some crystal(400g) and corn (1kg) and I used W-34/70 saflager.
now the sweet could come from the crystal, but the fruity? and the fact that it DOES go away? does esters go away?
