Hi All,
I brewed a DFH90 Min Extract Clone recently. It all went well. I let it ferment until the gravity was stable for 3 days, dry hopped (in primary) for about 5 days and then cold crashed for 2 days.
I then racked the beer to the keg and immediately threw it in the fridge with some CO2.
The kit says it will taste best ~8 weeks from brewing (OG - 1.091). I take some pulls from the keg every now and then (I know, I shouldn't - but I want to taste it throughout it's life). It looks nice, but it tastes pretty sour. First time I've had this issue.
Will that sour taste dissipate over time? Was it a mistake to cold crash, rack, and then put back in the fridge? Should I have racked to the keg and let it sit at room temp for a few weeks? If so, would it negatively affect the beer to do so now, after it has been in the fridge for a couple of weeks?
