HI there,
I have a RIS that has just finished fermentation.
OG1080 - FG1018
Despite best intentions to keep the temps AT 18 DEGREES, due to a very vigorous fermentation temps up to 22 degrees were seen.
Now I am left with a beer with a very strong alcoholic bite, and is very warming. Also despite 150gms of hops in the boil the roastiness from the dark grains is very overpowering.
When you age a beer, could you expect any of these flavours to mellow, or should i just resign myself to a mistake?
Cheers
Josh
