Firstly sorry if this question has already been answered, I've looked but can't find one.
I recently did a brew with a XXXX kit and liquid light extract, with some cluster pellets(15 min and dry hopped @ rack) which i think were very old by the smell (They had a comp on to win origin tickets if i bought the kit and i had a rewards voucher so it cost me next to nothing).
I have never done a lager before as i live in Brissie.
I used s-23 and brewed @ around 11C.
I didn't do a diacetyl rest, and bottle after the brew sitting at 18 for about 6 hours.
I cracked a bottle open and it still has a strong sulphur smell and kind of a stale hop smell. My question is will this do away with age or would i be better dumping it and using the bottles for a nice AG APA?
Thanks
Scottie
