I recently bottled my first ever attempt at homebrewing. It was a Brewers Best witbier kit. I feel like everything went pretty well. The only thing I think that I did a little bit off was I didn't add quite enough water to my carboy before fermentation. I was short by about a 1/4 of a gallon. At the 7 day mark, I cracked open one of my bottles and tried it. I know thats probably a little early, but 1. I couldnt wait any longer and 2. I would like to gain knowledge of what green beer is, and the whole carbonation process. My question is about the taste. It was by no means bad, but it wasnt what I expected from a wit. I was able to taste a fair amount of hop finish to the beer, which in my experiences, doesnt generally happen with a wit. Plus the amount of hops that went in was very minimal. I am curious if this could be because its really not conditioned in the bottles yet, or maybe something went a little wrong during my boil. I am not stressing over it, like I said, its not like it tastes awful, I'm just curious if this could be because its green or not. Thanks!!
