I have an off smell/taste in my beer that I can't quite describe.
Morebeer American Brown Ale.
Recipe
7lbs Ultralight LME
Yeast = Safale S-04
Steeping Grains
8 oz crystal 60L
8 oz Honey Malt
4 oz Chocolate
Hops
1 oz Glacier (bittering) boiled 60 minutes
2 oz Glacier (Flavoring) 5 minutes
1 oz Cascade (Aroma) 1 minute
Whirlfloc (last 5 minutes)
4 oz priming sugar at bottling
bottled 12/13
put case in the refrigerator on 12/27
Final gravity 1.10
I carefully added the sugar at the very end (i should have added sooner). I let it sit a couple of hours in the bottling bucket (covered) before bottling.
The beer tastes okay at this point, but there is definitely a smell that shouldn't be there and I can taste something "off". I know that someone is going to ask me more about the specific smell. I know it is not the bandaid smell.
I used tap water and added a campden tablet.
The beer doesn't have a lot of foam but is carbed.
Thanks, Gary
