I've only brewed two batches of beer. The first was a pale ale. It turned out okay for a first attempt. However, there was a slight funky taste to it and I could never put my finger on it. It was more of a funky after taste....
My second batch was just bottled about two weeks ago...It's an amber ale. It too has this slightly funky after taste, but not as bad as my first batch.
I've been thinking and thinking about what it could be and last night it hit me that it kinda finishes with a burnt taste.
I do remember seeing a slight burn in the bottom of the pot after racking my wort. The rings where in the shape of the stove burner.
Is this taste probably coming from burning my malt?
