Hello everyone
In my first attempt I have brewed an amber ale beer with this specifications:
17 liters
2 weeks fermentation in 23 degrees centigrade ( one step fermentation)
yeast: safale US 05
OG 1.070
FG 1.010
hops: 20 grams Magnum (60 min boiling)
every thing is ok but I can smell a slight sourness (similar to the smell of yeast) in beer
How can I cover this smell for my next attempt, Are 2 steps fermentation help me? extra hops? or ...
 
Have you bottled your beer yet? If so, how long did you let it condition in the bottle?

Most of my beers have that delightful yeast smell after 3 weeks fermentation, and some retain it until 3-4 weeks in the bottle. Give it some time, and I bet it will be OK.
 
after 2 weeks fermentation I bottled them and It's been two weeks since it was bottled

Yeah, it's still a little young. I primary mine for 3 weeks, then bottle condition for 3 weeks. Sometimes they still smell a little yeasty after that time and need another week or two.

I know some folks around here regularly go grain-to-glass a lot quicker than that, particularly those who keg their beer. Hopefully some of them can chime in with some tips.
