IPA is my spirit animal
Hello out there,
A few months back I made an extract nut brown ale. It fermented for about 4 weeks, and I was ready to keg. The sample tasted very good. So I transferred the beer to the keg in my apartment where the kitchen sometimes is above 90 degrees. I lived upstairs at the time and had window units. So I took the beer out of the fermenter and transferred it to the keg. The next time I sampled, bam, I tasted cider. Does anyone know what might have happened? My theory is that the beer got too hot in the kitchen while transferring...
I made sure that I was very thorough when washed and sanitized the keg. I let oxyclean sit in there for a few days, and ran it through the tap. Then I sanitized with starsan which I also ran through the tap.
