So I took a class at my local HB store and guy gave us each 20oz bottle red Ale to take home. Hey used what looked like 2 cough drops for carbonation. We each got a chance to bottle. Anyway it's been 15days and we were told to wait at least 14days to drink so it would be carbonated. I tried it last night and it was carbonated, but had a twang to it.
I was curious what "green" beer tasted like? Something tells me it wasn't ready. I was expecting a better beer and was disappointed. Luckily I didn't brew it. But this guy owns the store and been brewing faience 1973. I currently have 5 gals of red Ale in the fermenter and also 5 gals of Black IPA. I plan on kegging and Bottleling a few to keep for later. How long Will an extract beer take to age in a bottle verse keg?
