Hello All,
Well i made my first home brew last month around the middle of December. It was a Prairie Wheat from a Brew House kit.
I had bottled it 8 days ago. Last night I had to try one and see how the carbonation was going along. Now I know that the beer is still very green and that it wouldn't be ready yet, but I had to try it!!
To my surprise it was starting to carbonate very nicely. It smelled like a beer (gotta be a good thing). The taste was like a carbonated beer flavored pop. The alcohol could very much be tasted, almost to strong.
So what can i expect from a longer bottle conditioning? I am going to try one every week to see how it is changing. I guess the main thing I am worried about is that I want it to taste like beer.
With all that said I am not expecting it to do much until at least 3 weeks in the bottle. I should also mention that I put it in the fridge for about 7hrs before i drank it....i like my beer cold!!
Thanks for the help!!
