I'm at the bottom of my first kegged homebrew. When I poured a glass last night it seemed to have a bit of a harsh/metallic taste at first. As the beer warmed up a bit that seemed to dissipate and the beer tasted more as I expected. So being new to kegging I figure this is due to three possible things (or combination of them) and was looking for some help
1. Is this what I've seen referred to as "carbonic bite"? The carbonation level in the beer doesn't seem too high. My serving pressure is around 9-10 psi at the moment.
2. Is my fridge/beer temp too cold? My keggerator is in my garage and it's getting a little cooler here, so I've found my fridge temp is drifting towards 36ish rather than the 40 it was at earlier this month.
3. I think this is the least likely, but what are the possibilities for picking something up from the keg itself? It seemed nice and shiny inside when I bought it, and I have it a good pbw wash inside and on all the fittings prior to the sani and racking.
Thanks!
