What Does "Young Beer" Taste like?

[rtstrider]

Well the heat is definitely subsiding on this brew. The alcohol smell on the nose has gone way down also. Going to pop this in secondary for a week or so and test it again. I have a kegged beer with the same issue. It’s already carbed but I’m going to yank that out of the fridge and let it sit at room temp for a few weeks to see if that helps. I have an inkling both beers may have been an under pitch so the yeast is taking it’s sweet time cleaning up lol

I don't know if it's just me, but I have noticed that when I skim the top of the wort early in the boil, use protafloc/irish moss and let it sit a while after cooling to let the cold break clump together before straining it into the bucket.
Ie keep as much crud as possible out of the fermenter, the fermentation seems to produce much less green beer flavours and much less chill haze and is ready to drink after 3-4 weeks of carbing and a week in the fridge.
