Hello,
Started my first homebrew (John bull bitter) 5 days ago and used a hydrometer yesterday to test the gravity which was slightly too high. I had a sip of the beer and it tasted exactly like strongbow cider. My dad described it as tasting of dish water. from smelling the airlock it smells strongly of apples. I understand it had probably not finished fermenting but will it get better after a few days? I've got a pressure barrel I'm going to siphon it into once it's finished and going to add some priming sugar; will this sort it?
thanks,
Luke
