Hi everyone,
Am still quite new to home brewing and am trying the Festival Premium Ale Kit - "Summer Glory"
It's now nearly had 3 weeks fermenting in the "bucket", so i sampled it to see if I think it needs hops (supplied in the kit) or not as I don't want an overpowering bitter after taste if possible.
But am a bit concerned as it doesn't really taste very nice and has a slightly odd smell/taste - hard to describe.
So now I'm a little worried this might be what spoiled beer tastes like... in which case I'm stuffed... but if not, does anyone think it's Ok to leave it fermenting an extra week or so to see if the yeast can finish off and improve the taste? Could I ruin it by leaving it too long fermenting?
Thanks for any advice!
Marcel
