Haven't posted in a while. I brewed a simple American wheat a while back, using yeast I had harvested from Boulevard Wheat, made in Kansas(?) I think. Everything went fine, been bottled about 3 weeks now. For what it's worth, left in the primary about 6 weeks--longer than what I wanted, but far less than some I've read about here.
Now, I've never had tasted or smelled phenols, until now I guess. I think this beer is it. It seems pretty strong, though I really don't have a basis for comparison. So, the question is will this (ideally) go away, or at least diminish with additional bottle conditioning?
Also, out of curiosity, anyone ever harvested and used this yeast? (I sent an e-mail to Boulevard for more info on the yeast, but never received a reply.)
