Hey folks, I'm new to this. Only on my second Cooper's homebrew batch. First was a lager came out tasting like it had old apple juice stilled in it.
Did the stout this time. Followed directions exactly. It's been fermenting now for about 2-3 weeks. The s/g seems to have levelled out at about 1.005. which according to my initial gravity somehow gives me a light beer at like 3.6/3.7%
But although it tells me to bottle when this happens I tasted it and it again has a vinegary/old apple aftertaste to it. Very bitter. If I leave it longer will anything change? Or is this kit total garbage or something??
So frustrated!
