Hi Guys,
I read in the Charlie Papazian book that a line around the beer in the top of the bottle was a sure sign of bad beer. I've tasted one of the offending bottles, and it's sweet (I believe I bottled it too early) but it's not vinegary at all, just a bit fruity (which I attributed to the early bottling).
I was wondering if this is just good old yeast (it certainly is yeast colour), working at carbonating the beer and getting rid of that excess sugar?
Can anybody shed some light on this. Should I be worried?
Cheers, Adam!
