Hi everyone,
I am new to brewing. This is my first batch and I'm using a kit, liquid extract. The extract is wheat beer. Left it in my fermenter for 16 days today. The initial reading was 1040 and on the 14th day it went down to 1010 and now on the 16th went down to 1008. On the 14th day it tasted a bit too sweet so I left it there for an extra 2 days. but now while the sweetness decreased, the alcoholic taste increased (that taste of a cheap beer) Temperature is stable at around 64-68 F.
Should I worry about the alcoholic taste or after bottling it will go away through the aging process?
Thank you in advance to anyone replying and assisting me in this matter
