Apologies in advance for the elementary nature of this question! There is so much wonderful information on this forum but I'm struggling to piece together a plan!
I brewed my third batch of beer a few weeks ago from a kit (next time gonna boil everything up myself I think)
After a week, the gravity still wasn't where it should have been so I gave everything a bit of a stir and gave it another week.
I then syphoned it into a keg to which I had already added about 400g of caster sugar mixed with hot water to prime it.
Another week on and I sampled the brew yesterday. Well it certainly has carbonation and a great head, bu it is way too malty and sweet. I probably overdid the sugar and perhaps it did not ferment properly??
Any suggestions? Can I rectify it? Shall I pop it in the cool shed for a few weeks and see if that improves matters??
