Hi all,
I keep reading that my beer should get better with age but from my very limited experience I feel like my beers taste better young. For example I have a mosaic smash that I brewed maybe 6 weeks ago, I'm drinking right now and sitting here thinking it definately tasted better 2 weeks ago?! This one was always pretty subtle on hop flavour but I'm no finding there to be very little hop profile left which seems like a short time to lose it. No other obvious signs of change, colour and clarity are still great.
I only brew small batches every 2 weeks so I'm cool with drinking my beer young, I just wondered if this is just one of those brewing myths or maybe theres something I can do to prolong the flavours?
Cheers!
