I just finished up a split batch of a pale ale, a pretty close variation to Ed Ws Haus Ale. Both beers taste good, but i notice a somewhat sweet grainy aftertaste. I brewed a blonde ale several months ago and i noticed the same flavor. At the local homebrew meeting one brewer thought i had extracted too much tannin in the mash. Is that the characteristic you would expect from that? I have recently (within the last 6-8 batches) switched to doing batch sparging, i am pretty sure my temperatures have been on par (168F sprage water) with mash temps in the 150s. Besides that i cant think of anything else i changed in my process, and like i said the majority of what I made has not had this in the aftertaste. Any suggestions on what i can look into to eliminate this on future brews?
Thanks in Advance,
Jason
