So I brewed a GF beer (recipe to follow) this beer sat in primary for 21 days the secondary for 5 days then cold crash for 2 days then bottles for 2 weeks. The beer looks like unfiltered apple juice and tastes and smells strongly of apple cider. There is almost no hop character. Should I let it sit in the bottles longer to condition and hopefully mellow out the apple cider smell/taste or is this a normal by product of sorghum beer?
