Thought I made a rad IPA (Amarillo Simcoe blend)
Extract recipe...got FG, dry hopped and bottled 7 days later (used WLP001 yeast).
Tasted PHENOMENAL right before bottling. I was a happy camper.
Wait a week to taste a 'green' beer. Carbonation is a little low...but tastes/smells like buttered popcorn (Blech) So I do some searching and find out it's Diacetyl...great.
Waited another week to see if the yeasties would chew up that fake butter flavor - nope.
I have moved the bottled batch from a 65 degree F to a 71F about 5 days ago....
When can I expect that popcorn butter flavor to start dissipating? When should I worry that it won't?
ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
