Just give it time

Time, the secret ingredient in all brews...

One lesson I have learned, sampling early = disapointment. Give it at least 1 week per unit OG (e.g. 1.040 = 4 weeks) before drinking. My Winter Ale tasted undrinkable after 2 weeks (Muntons instructions said it would be OK) but is tasting good after 5 weeks; OG = 1.054.

Ahhhhhhhh but you only found out the lesson re your Winter Ale by sampling early

so really you're only reinforcing the argument for sampling at all stages to see just when it is ready :wha: :lol:

will all brews clear out with time? including AG brews

I agree - always try early otherwise you'll never know. Some beers taste good early, all certainly taste different and it's good to learn these things. So it's tasting in the name of science surely... :whistle:

I have no problem with AG brews clearing, I only add finings ( and then only gelatine ) to beers made with S-05, as I find that yeast needs some help.
