Hi, I've just made my first extract brew, and I thought all was going well, however I decided to have a taste of the beer right after transferring from the pot and pitching the rehydrated yeast.
The taste was not good. At all. It was horrible.
Basically, will this be representative of the finished beer? How does fermentation affect the taste?
Have I just wasted my afternoon by brewing the worlds worst beer? It just tasted like I'd added 300 times more bittering hops than I was supposed to.
I did try to strain it, however its possible that some of the trub made it into the Fermenter, I'm hoping I got a shit of that and when it all settles to the bottom it will taste better.
I used mosaic hops, 35g at 60min,20g at 15 min, 20g at 0min.
