ok, so i tried my first batch. its coopers real ale. the picture showed a real light colored beer. this is a link to it.
it came out much darker
i am not sure if this is a bad thing or not.
it doesnt taste bad, but i am not sure what i am supposed to be comparing it to. the finish is supposed to be moderately bitter. its a pertty bitter finish. i am wondering if the fermentation temps have something to do with this. i used the yeast that came with the can. it fermented at 73 for 2 weeks. its been in the keg for 2 weeks. now chilled and i am drinking it.
should i pull it out for a couple weeks to keep conditioning for a week or so? will it getting warm affect the taste once its been chilled?
