This may already be posted somewhere but i didn't feel like looking for it. I just finished a batch of black honey spruce from Papazian's joy of 'brewing and at the end of the primary it smells amazing but tastes pretty bad! I was worried at first bc my wort chiller wasn't operational so I got it cooled to 77-78 and pitched wyeast American ale yeast. It was slightly warm but prob still ok. I only used 3/4oz of spruce to 5 gall batch which is less than the recommended 1oz, but it tastes like straight up pinesol!!! Does this age and mellow? How long does that take?
