I really don't understand what you mean by "the aftertaste is light?" Just what are you looking for?

Can we see a recipe? How long has it been in the bottles? How long did it ferment/ secondary.

We need info to help you.

thank you very much!
recipe is: Batch Size 5 gallons ! 6.00(lbs)Wheat Malt, 3.50(lbs)American Two-row Pale, 0.25(lbs)Flaked Oats, 0.75(lbs)Honey. 1.25OZ Willamette,1OZ Sweet Orange Peel,1 oz Chamomile.

first day ferment at 13C,and the temperature went up to 21C in 2 days,then temperature went down to 11C in 3days, and keep it 2 days.so summation is 1+2+3+2=8 days. after this 8 days,cold the beer to 0C and taken out yeast on the tank's button.after 2 days I put the cold beer in keg and drink.

"aftertaste is light" means when I drink beer, the taste is good.but when I englut it,there is not too many flavor from throat.

thank you!!

I think you have 2 problems that need to be addressed for your next brew. First is temperature. Yeast prefer nearly constant temperature, mostly around the 20C or a little lower. When it gets too warm, the yeast gives off other compounds that are not as pleasant to drink. If it gets too cool, the yeast activity slows down or stops until it warms up.

Your beer really only had 3 days to ferment at its preferred temperature and certainly did not finish in that short of time. Next time leave it in the fermenter longer, 14 to 28 days or even longer if it gets cold during that time. Next, when you kegged the beer, did you force carbonate it or did you depend on natural carbonation. If you depended on natural carbonation, the beer needed to be kept warm while the yeast consumed the priming sugar and produced the carbon dioxide, then cooled for drinking.
