I recently did batch with US 04 and FF hops, rather than citra.
I foolishly rushed kegging at 2 weeks (FG was steady). It's been cold and carbing for a week. I tasted it, now at 3 weeks old, and it's not very good. Sweet, cloudy, kind of harsh/solventy. Couldn't drink more than 1 pint. It's carbed pretty well, maybe 80%.
Obviously needs more conditioning. Should I leave it cold conditioning (40F). Or pull it out of keezer and leave it about 60F for a couple weeks?
Also could do more dry hopping. I have a bunch of Mosaic, Citra and Columbus now on hand.
First time I've used US04. It took off like crazy and fementation temps went higher than expected, even though ambient never above 64. Very fruity/sweet taste right now. FG was 1.010.
Any recommendations?
