Hi Guys,
New Here just got back into brewing after about a 10 year break, I converted my fridge to a kegerator so I could start kegging right away.
Anyways heres my question:I just Kegged my Mirror Pond Clone last night it spent 1 week in Primary and about 12 days in secondary and I thought it would be ready to keg, I kegged it and put it on c02 and in the fridge over night to let it get cold. Tried force carbonating at 35 and shook it for a few minutes and then let it sit for an hour came back and brought it down to about 10. it was very foamy but the beer seemed to be lacking body, in the flavor. Do you think this is because the beer is too young or not fully carbed? It has a great Golden color good hop notes but almost a non existent body or malt flavor. Or is the Beer simply too young and if so will it age on c02 in the kegerator or do I need to take it off C02 and age at room temp? Sorry for a total newbie question but I am stumped and kegging is a whole new world to me, that and I am relearning a lot from the long break and retraining my sense of taste.
Thanks so much!!!
