I brewed a hef about 3
Weeks ago. For some reason ( swmbo wanted to clean kitchen and i was told to hurry) I decided to go with the alternate brewing instructions on the kit from my LHBS which were:
No specialty grains
Boil
Add bittering hops 10 min
Add flavoring hops 5 min later
Add extract
Remove, cool, pitch
It's fermented at ~63F for 3.5 weeks hydro hasnt moved the last week so figured it was done and was going to keg. Took a sample and well yuck. No hefe flavor. Just salty nastiness. Not really a salt off flavor, more like brown ocean water flavor.
Thoughts?
I know it's still green and all but it has no redeemable flavor ATM.
