I've read a lot of posts on here about people saying their brews have an "off" taste...sweet, sour, metallic, or when something just isn't right. Time after time, most of the advice I have seen says to just let it sit and mellow out. Time can cure most bad brews. Likewise, with a little time, a good brew will go through certain stages until it reaches it's prime stage, or when it tastes best. My question; how do you keep a beer at it's prime stage? I would imagine if you wait too long, the beer won't be any good, afterall, this isn't wine. How do the commercial brewers keep a beer at it's prime? If I pick up a Sam Adams Boston Lager, it tastes exactly the same...each and every bottle. How do you get consistently good brew in it's prime?
