uhhhh stupid me tasted too soon

[ZamaMan]

I have been obsessing about my first brew. Been watching it. Smelling the air lock. Wraping it in a blanket if it gets a degree colder. Well got so curious today 48 hours in to fermentation, been bubbling alot and ended up tasting it today =[ tasted slightly sweet and slightly sourish. Smells kinda bad too kinda like sour Sanitizer. The foam looks pretty awesome though.

Ehhh hopefullly it will turn out alright but I wont be sampling again till its ready.

its good to taste at various points to get a better feel of whats actually going on. but idk if i would have tasted a bubbling, belching, self churning wort right at the beginning of fermentation haha

Don't worry about it. Beer usually tastes pretty rank while its still fermenting, as the yeast hasn't had a chance to clean up after itself.
It is good idea to taste during the process a few times though so you know what to expect.

I'm trying to imagine what sour sanitizer tastes like

From now on you have to taste everyone of your beers at that same point and derive some strange off the wall theory about how it will develop. lol

It's hard to be patient... tasted my first brew a couple weeks ago when racking to the secondary and thought it tasted horrible... Just knew I had done something wrong. Tasted again this past Sunday while bottling and it was great. Patience... lol

Now I've brewed quite a few batches and still find myself smelling air locks and peeking at my yeasts during their most intimate of moments but I can't for the life of me imagine looking at an active fermentation and thinking "man, I've gotta try me some of that." It just looks, ummm, less than tasty to me I guess. I'm with Hoodweisen though, we're going to need the results of your various trials presented photographically through the faces you make as you taste them.

Yeah I don't know why iI tried it. I tasted it when I originally racked it and it wasn't bad kinda hoppy and sugary so I was just curious how it changed. Well im not too worried
