After-taste question

[nimajneb99]

Hi everyone, I made my first ever batch, Northern Brewer Lefse Blonde, and am wondering about aftertaste. First off, it is only 2 weeks in the bottle (4 weeks from first fermentation).

I think it is fine, if a bit low gravity. But others are complaining about a slight 'raw' or sour aftertaste (not a strong one, very delayed and very slight).

Is this supposed to be there?? Thanks for your insights.

Regards,

Ben

You need to let this beer condition longer before making any judgements. Most beers need to be primed and bottled for at least 4 weeks before drinking. Then they need to be in the fridge for a few more days to get nice and cold and drop your yeast out of suspension.

4 weeks from brew day is VERY YOUNG. I leave my beers in a primary for 4+weeks transfer to keg and carb for two weeks. 6 weeks in the youngest my beer ever get's drank. For somestyles that would be too young. Others you can drink drink younger. but 2 weeks fermenting and 2 weeks bottles. Leave it alone for at least another 3 weeks before you fairly judge it.

I see the kit uses wyeast 1762 yeast their site says that fermentation temps should be between 65-75 degrees. I have learned the hard way that some yeast strains are unforgiving if they are out of their prospective temp ranges. What you are describing to me sounds like what I have gotten for screwing that up. Albeit the posters in here are right In some cases that taste had lessened with time sadly not totally dissapearing. Depending on when the temp range was messed up and for how long.
