I made my first batch about a month ago. I had a few panic attacks, but I think the beer was progressing fine. After it was in the primary for a week I switched to a secondary fermentoer for another week.
I then bottled the beer after the second week. It tasted ok (no worse than later on) but flat, as expected.
After a week in the bottle I opened one, poured it and it smelled a little different. It didn't taste too good, but I figured that was becuase it wasn't in the bottle long enough.
After the 2nd week in the bottle I opened a second bottle. It still smells strange, and it still doesn't taste too good, but it tastes better.
Is it possible that I just need to wait for a couple more weeks, or is it just a crappy batch?
It is supposed to be similar to Fat Tire.
