Hello all,
I just brewed a sweet water 420 clone and it's been sitting in bottles for 2 1/2 weeks.
Just popped one today and I was super careful with my pour so that I could check the clarity and there was no head on it. Plenty of bubbles, almost too much but no head. So I popped another one and poured straight in the center of the glass which gave decent head but it dissipated quickly, same weird over bubbly almost champagne like feel.
I know everyone says wait it out 3 weeks but I usually only wait 2 weeks in bottle with good results.
THe other concern I have is the flavor. It is a weird overly malty/sweet with an unpleasant bitter taste. I dry hopped 1 oz of centennial and I hardly get any aroma, just bitter.
I'm worried I screwed something up as this is only my 4th home brew batch and I just knew a bad batch was bound to happen....
What do yall think? Should I just give it more time?
