Hi I have question I hope someone can enlighten me here. I done 5 BIAB batches of beer so I'm still very much a beginner. 2 hoppy IPA and 3 more UK style beers, the result have been fairly good, not great but okay enough for me to keep going on.
When I know the fermentation is done I take sample of the beer to check if it's ready to bottle I also have a taste of it, and my question is what am I really to expect to taste? Usually I think it's a really pungent sharp taste and something I don't expect to find in the final beer, and it isn't either. I sometimes read people taking samples like this and being positive about what they are tasting, which is difficult for me to understand.
So what is it I'm tasting? am I trying to soon (day 7 to 14 typically)? Is it indication of off flavour? Or something normal?
Tia!
