Ok so I have an issue, after tasting my last two batches as I bottled them, I found that they each had a "soapy" taste.
Both were Beirmuncher recipes so you can easily find the recipes here:
Outer Limits IPA - (replaced all non-centennial with cascade)
Cenntenial Blonde
The Outer Limits was fermented for a week, then dryhoppped for a week, then cold crashed for a week. I bottled it (and sampled) and sampled it after two weeks in the bottle.
Both times had a slight soapy taste to it.
The Centennial Blonde I have only sampled at bottling but it had a much stronger soapy taste/aroma to it than I remember the IPA being.
Neither of these were on the yeast long enough for that to be a factor. My IPA was utterly soft in hops taste also, however I believe that is a water issue.
I searched for soapy taste on the forums I did not find alot beyond the "on the yeast too long" comment.
Anyone have any ideas? I brewed bier munchers "orange kolsch" and "green mountain porter" in this same 3 week span, neither of these exhibit that charactor.
Neither used Cascade hops either (correction there was .6 oz in the kolsch).....I am beginning to suspect that I may be perceiving that hop as soapy in taste.
