Bitterness Reduction

[churchy]

Hi guys a quick question I had a taste of my AG ,NZ red best bitter.It has only been in the bottle for about three weeks and had a slightly high bitterness taste to it, should the strenght of bitterness lesson as it ages in the bottles for a few more weeks.I usualy leave them for ten weeks before trying but I got exiceted and had to try one.



Cheers Andrew

Andrew,

Yes - it should calm down after a while in the bottle.

If it doesn't reduce in bitterness enough, you can blend it with another sweeter beer to tone it down. I've done this and it works nicely.

Cheers,

the bitterness will at least smooth out over time. At least that is what I have found.
