    Solids in my kegged Cream Soda

    So since my doctor says I can't drink as much beer as I used to due to some meds he put me on, I've started kegging soda for me and the kiddo. I made a 2.5 gallon batch of Gnome Extract Cream Soda and put it in my 5 gallon keg to carb, no yeast added. It carbed up nicely, but it seems I have...

    strange taste related to temperature

    Bear with me, this might be a long one... I'm on my 6th or 8th batch, brewing browns, porters, stouts. Always seemed to notice a strange aftertaste, and wondered what it was. Had the same strange aftertaste, but even moreso, on a buddies rootbeer that overcarbed. On all my other brews...
