My wife is brewing lager in Beer Machine - beer may have been over oxygenated on second day of brewing since it had to be transferred back and forth.
After 5 days instructions say to put in fridge for another 5 days then drink.
People on this forum said it should ferment about 14 days before fridge. While others said "drink it young" since it may be oxidized. So about 10 days then or more like 14?
Last night we tasted a bit after 5 days. It did not taste yeasty, it did not taste sweet. It did taste a bit like cardboard but mostly like chlorinated pool water -- Yech!!
I guess we will just keep it fermenting longer. Its PSI is about 15 and it seems to have a 1/2 inch head in the clear barrel its in.
Thanks for help
