its hard to describe almost liek some one poured a shot of red wine into by beer. im 75% positive this is a coopers heratige larger, made with 500g LDME and 500g dextrose and used a americian pale ale, fermenting temp was about 20 maxed at at 23.3
Ok, So :blink:
Don't mean to repeat myself BUT What are you asking again??
You have tasted a 2 week old brew from bottle? or keg?
And it tastes a little sweet? Like a red wine shot has been added?
Sorry, had a couple but just tryin to help! :unsure:
It may settle down a bit with age, but will still have the fruity wine taste. Try the keg if it's gassed, you don't really need to wait when using kegs. If it's the same taste then somethings happened during the ferment, if different then it may be due to the priming of the bottles. When I first tried home brewing we went for the higher alco content by adding more sugar and the beer always turned out very fruity and sweet - great if all you want to do is get drunk, not great if you wanted to drink a beer.will it get better with age? how long should i leave it before i crack open teh keg (its already gasssed up?)
But it didn't cost anywhere near that amount to make this beer did it, and will only cost a little more for the next batch in comparison.it just annoys me i spend $2500 easy hope to get drinkable results,
You'll read a lot of replies on many threads - don't rely on the airlock to tell you if the fermentation has started or stopped. The gas can find easier ways to escape than through the airlock in most instances. Hydro readings staying constants and at a gravity which is expected for a few days is the way to tell if it's finished.i ahve a hydrometer i just gave it way longer than needed (1week after it stoped boubling) to make sure it had fermented 100%
Don't give up so easily - you've pumped a lot of money into the setup, the process of making beer with kits is very cheap in comparison. Have a good read through here, before making up a batch, post on here the recipe you are going to follow and people will come back with excellent suggestions and advice for you.o well the 2 beers fermenting in teh chest freezer will be keged up tonite, and ill put 2 more brews into chest freezer while it is empty. if none of thease 6 beers are drinkable by the time the 3rd batch is done (3-4weeks) i'll give up.
