Hi Guys,
So I've brewed 3 batches so far, one Brooklyn Brewshop kit, one Mr. Beer kit and my most recent, Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde, which is the batch in question. Keep in mind I bottled the kit batches and decided to keg this Centennial Blonde.
The first two batches went good and taste good, but this most recent one I'm a little concerned about. I put it in the fermenter on January 14th and just kegged it today on February 3rd. When I opened the fermenter it smelled very sour, so I was worried right off the bat. I went ahead and kegged it, it's been in my kegerator at 10 psi for around 3 hours now. I tested a glass right when it went in and it still smelled extremely sour, and I tested another about 3 hours after I kegged it and it was still just as sour. The taste isn't sour, only the smell, the taste is still pretty bland, but I expect it to get better once it's kegged for a few days.
So should I be worried? Will the smell go away with it being kegged? Any ideas?
