hammy1801Young's Harvest Scottish Ale question?

1 year ago | hammy1801 (Member)

Hi all
Was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Young's Harvest Scottish Ale. Its been in the bottles now for 20 days and when taste testing a bottle last night it was not all that, really sweet after taste and I suffered a bit of heartburn whilst drinking it. Not sure if I have somehow contaminated the brew as I was uber clean whilst making it or if, as its a budget kit, does it take a while longer to mature?
Cheers
Hammy

    Hi Hammy, sorry not tried it myself but yours doesn't sound good. I would leave it alone for a week or so and hope that it improves.

    Cheers Greg, Was thinking i may have jumped the gun and started drinking it too early, hopefully it should improve. Oh well live and learn

    As said before on this forum, a few days can make all the difference, tried a bottle of Young's Scottish Ale last night not expecting much and wow, what a difference from the other night. Nice tasting beer, no nasty after taste and no heartburn. Needless to say a few more bottles were sunk and I went to work today a bit fuzzy round the edges!!!
