My last brew ( a citra smash) I kegged has a appley taste & aroma, I'm assuming I crashed it too quickly and it wasnt finished I bottled all the remains and cracked a bottle tonight and it doesnt have the taste. Is it because I warmed it up to carb it ?
If I warm this keg up (its carb'd) can I save it ?

Probably. Residual yeast should be able to convert it to ethanol, just burp the keg a bit to let it off gas, knowing you can always add a little sugar again to recarbonate it of you go too far.
