Okay,
I'm new'ish to using WLP001. I've brewed quite a few beers that have been awesome, but every single time I use WLP001 the thing ends up being very fruity (a bit sour too maybe?) instead of clean. The beers I'm making are supposed to be anything but fruity, so it really makes them odd tasting.
My guess is I'm fermenting too hot and getting massive amounts of esters. The house is 67 degrees, but it sits near the heat pump & hot water tank.
I have a temp controller on the way to use for my kegerator and I'm thinking I should probably use it for fermentation too (with certain yeast strains).
I'm just looking for some thoughts/insight. Has anyone had fruity beer caused by WLP001?
