Hello everyone, hope all is well. New to brewing and about 3 1/2 weeks ago I brewed extract caribou slobber. Set 2 weeks in primary and been a week and a half in the secondary. While transferring to secondary I noticed a very strong alcohol smell and thought it work itself out in the secondary. Today I pulled a sample to see what the gravity was (1.010) took a taste and while the smell was a lot tamer the taste was a bit thin and had a fairly strong alcohol taste. Will the corn sugar I would mix with water to produce carbonation help level that out or is my first batch a waste?? I will say that I followed the instruction sheet pretty much to the letter but it wasn't till after a week or so into fermentation I actually found out how important temp during fermentation. According to the video, just put it in a dark room and leave it, didn't exactly specify temp but as the brewer I should have researched more instead following the directions alone. Room temp was 74. Thoughts?...try not to beat me up to bad. Thank you ~Mike
