Hi.
Yesterday I retried my Burtils Ale, an ale based on a recipe for the Burton Ale that comes with the BeerSmith software. It is now five weeks since I bottled the brew and I was hoping that the beer would taste good by now. Unfortunately I found an unpleasant component in the aroma and after taste reminding me of fruity apple like esters that I did not like at all. I did some reading up om the yeast used for this beer and found a lot of comments about sharp fruits and the need for aging.
Do you think that I have to worry about the beer being infected or is it likely that five weeks on bottles is to short a time for the brew to harmonize? This is my third brew so I still don't know how much patients I need to have before giving final judgement on my brews. My first two beers took five weeks to become alright which is why I expected the same from my Burtil Ale.
Did some writing with more details on this topic on my brewing blog: http://jurslabrew.inlumino.se/?p=401&lang=en
