i received a Northern Brewer Irish Red Ale kit for christmas and JUST got around to brewing it about a month and a half ago. This attempt has sparked a ton of interest and I have been researching and getting new recipes like crazy. I'm already learning so much and cannot wait to try my latest batch (a double IPA) Anyways, i bottled the irish red 2 weeks ago and gave it my first taste. It was really sweet. Not overbearing, but annoyingly sweet to the point i didn't really want another one. It was my first batch but i followed the directions perfectly and thought it tasted fine when i tasted it on bottling day. No sweetness, just a slight boozy bite on that day. Now that is gone and now its just a little too sweet some how. Will this go away? Could i have infected during bottling? Was the kit too old? Is this just priming sugar that has not been converted yet? I am going to wait another week and try a second bottle, but i want to avoid this with my current batch.
