2 weeks in bottles

[Lametrout]

well after 2 weeks in bottle the beer has slight carb kinda a maple smell and a slight butterscotch aftertaste . those things don't concern me that much because i read about green beer and the off taste, what does concern me is the malt flavor has dissipated a bit from week 1 when i tried it. im hoping time will fix all. am i right?

on a side note i think i found my next brew...from one of the ppl here too

should i add or subtract anything from it?

thanks to everyone that gives advise here . brewing would be wicked hard without the internet and the beer-seer

When the beer ACTUALLY carbs and conditions, you will get all you think you've lost back. Carbonation goes a long wat to lifting all those flavors. Just let it go through it's process of carbing and conditioning, and it should be fine.

It's pointless to stress about the flavors and aromas of beer when we know it's unfinished.
