So I made a pliny clone (partial mash). I had a og of about 1.090. Didn't get the fg because I am an idiot. I let it sit in the primary for 5 weeks and two of those weeks I dry hopped.
So yesterday I went to test the beer. It has been bottled for 3 weeks. Popped them open and was really disappointed. They had 0 carbonation, the color is almost dark like root beer, it smells weird and definitely not like an ipa and it just tastes bad...basically all alcohol and not much flavor.
So now what do I do? Should I let it sit longer and see if it gets better? Should I just pop the caps now and put some yeast in it? Or did I just mess my beer up real bad and pour it out?
I tasted it when bottling and it was fine and the color was a lot lighter so I have no idea what might have caused all this. Bottles were all cleaned and sanatized before hand too. Please help!
