  I should note that I did have an acetaldehyde flavour in a previous ale, and this is the first
  beer that I've put in the same corny keg since then. So, it could be acetic acid bacteria, from
  what I've...

  I just got two used corny kegs. One in particular is suspect... hot PBW soaked and starsanned
  before each use. Also, brand new keg lines, cobra taps, and quick-connects.I am now on my
  second beer that...

  I have also had this problem with my last three beers, all in different fermentation buckets.
  This has never happened before. All of the beers tasted normal after about 10 days
  fermentation. When I ta...

  Sometimes if you introduce too much oxygen during racking it can revert some compounds back
  into acetaldehyde. If you did that, just try purge from your keg more. Shake your keg for a
  while and then p...

  I just took a sample from my first lager (pretty close recipe to "Your father's mustache") and
  am freaking out a bit.It tastes and smells like green-apple, which how-to-brew/Palmer says is
  acetaldehyd...

  Just drinking a Saison Dupont for the first time. Very tasty. I detect a little DMS, presumably
  from the pilsner malt. If I'd known I might have gone with a 60min boil instead of 90. Do you
  guys usual...

  Quick update: Belle Saison is pretty eager. Already dipped under beersmith's target FG. It's
  sitting at 1.004. :D

  nope. esters aren't one of the by-products that the yeast clean up. follow the same schedule as
  your american farmhouse.Awesome, thanks!

  Question for you saison veterans:I am fermenting nice and warm to try to get as much flavour
  from the yeast as possible. For an American ale, I would normally leave it in primary for
  another week or t...

  Being new to saisons, not to mention homebrewing in general, I decided to play it safe and used
  organic table sugar instead of the 180SRM candi syrup. I am going to use the syrup to brew a
  more tradit...
