First, I have been making wine for a while now but prefer to drink good beer in the summer months, so thought I would try my hand at brewing. I have done a few Mr. Beer kits but that is about it.
Anyways I just bottled a Mutons Gold Indian Pale Ale kit, I followed instructions, except I let it sit in primary a little longer before bottling (instructions said wait 7-8 days I went 13 days). I added corn sugar to bump the ABV up to 6% and hit the FG per the kits optional instructions.
Last night when I was bottling I put a few ounces in a glass and tried a taste. As the title suggests it was lacking the flavor I expected and tasted watery. I bottled and will patiently wait 3 weeks before cracking a bottle open for a taste, but was wondering if this is normal. Is the watery taste because it is not carbed yet, or should I expect a watery tasting beer in 3 weeks?
