I've brewed my first beer, a bavarian hefeweizen, and was hoping to bottle it tommorrow after a week in the primary. I removed the lid and took a sample in order to get a sample for a gravity reading. I checked the gravity and it was 1.012 and then obviously tried the beer out of the test vial. The beer definitely had a hefe flavor but also a really bitter finish which could be attributable to the fact that I have never tasted beer fresh out of a fermenter with no carbonation before. The beer was not particularly pleasent to drink due to the finish. Do you suppose that a couple of weeks in the bottle under pressure will help to mellow this out. Thanks in advance for helping me to better beer.
