Should I crack one open and taste this weekend or is there no point?
cweston said:Sure, if you want to.
If you primed with corn sugar, there's a good chance it'll be mostly or even fully carbed.
How many days old was it when you bottled? What kind of beer is it?
Todd said:It was 3 weeks old, I used "priming sugar" which I think is corn sugar. It is a strong stotch ale.
I've tasted every stage along the way. If it should be someone carbed I'll try one. I only got about 42 bottles, I think my batch was a bit under 5G and I lost a few cups while trying to bottle. Opps.
Monk I agree, I just hate to waste one only to find out it was the same as bottling day.
cweston said:Nope: carbonated beer, even if it's green, tastes a lot different than uncarbed. Go for it--it's only one bottle.
If you can, wait until 3 weeks in the bottle (or more) to start seriously depleting your supply. But RDWHAHB. And, most importantly, get going on that next batch.
Brewno said:On my first batch I drank one at 7 days and it sucked. It had no head at all either. At 10 days the head almost overflowed out of the glass and it tasted good. At two weeks it was even better. After three weeks it's a completely different beer!
My second batch has been in the bottles for 9 days and I'm leaving it for 3 weeks. I'm already itching to try one but I'll probably wait until at least 2 weeks before sneaking a pre taste.
