my cherry has been conditioning for about two weeks and well i got impatient and wanted to try it..
when bottling the last 2 bottles got a little more air in them so we marked them so we would know. .i put 2 in the fridge.. one with the extra air one without..
the one that got more oxygen was OVER carbonated and it really affected the taste..lots of bite from the carbonation..but it had GREAT head retention..
the other one (which is the pic)... not yet ready.. needs more carbonation for sure...not much head retention at all...
when i racked for bottling i did put the priming sugar on the bottom and racked on top of it to make sure it was distributed well...could this have something to do with it?
any other guesses ??
i can definately taste the cherry in it though im glad its not super overpowering...thought id share the beer with ya!
