so i bottled my first ag today, it was my attempt at a Deshutes hop trip recipe. Unfrotunatly my hydrometer broke the day of brewing so i never got any readings, but I just let it sit extra long to make sure fermentation and clearing had completed. when i was transfering into my bottling bucket it smelled amazing, basically just what I was hoping for, bottled them all and then of course I had to try one. It was very very bitter and not in a hop heads wet dream (possible new brewery name) sort of way.It wasn't terrible of course, but it just didn't match the smell. I understand that it needs to carb and age a bit in the bottle, but I just wanted you guys on here to confirm this for me and let me sleep easy tonight.
another question... i know that 3 weeks @ 70 degrees is optimal for carbing, and I know that bellow 55 or so it stops all together, but what is the upper limits will I have problems at higher temps ?
thank you all so much by the way, you all made my transition into ag very smooth. Tonight I will be raising another glass of uncarbonated beer in your honor
