What do you mean it tastes like wine? How, exactly, is it similar to wine? What type of wine?

 

[brandonhagen1]

like a white wine and i dont know maybe to dry but has a sweetness to it it was an extract recipie and have not done one in over a year but have never had this taste og was 1060 fg was 1013.

Yeast and temps?

The fg doesn't seem as if it would be excessively sweet. I'm guessing it's the priming sugar that is causing the sweet taste. It has only been in the bottle a few days.

I've read where you're not supposed to drink it until it has sat in the bottle for about a week or two. That's probably why it tastes funny

 

[brewingmeister]

Bottle conditioning is typically 3 weeks at room temp.
5 days isn't near long enough.

ferm temp was at 60-62 and ya i know its green that is not the flavor but time will tell i guess

and as i said in the first post i used us05 primary for 11 days

Ah silly me, I guess after a few beers I missed that hah

I can't picture an IPA resembling a white wine unless you used a very specific combination of ingredients, including such things as Nelson Sauvign hops and Brettanomyces clausenii yeast.

Please post a complete recipe and process description, and post again in about two weeks with an updated taste description (conditioning beers don't taste very much like finished beers).
