I've been priming my first batch (Brewers' Best IPA kit) for a couple weeks, decided to give it a go, and here's what I've come up with:
- Plastic-y taste at back of throat
- Good head, but little/no carbonation in beer
- Decent flavor, except for above. Not as pale or as hoppy as I'd hoped.
Possible causes:
- Flavor: Chlorine residue from cleaning equipment with tap water
- Flavor: Room temperature fermentation and priming (fridge isn't big enough for keg)
- Flavor: Wild yeast (found this one elsewhere on forum)
- Flavor/Color: Some burnt extract in bottom of brew kettle
- Carbonation: Wort not cold enough to absorb sufficient CO2
- Flavor: 2 oz. bittering hop pellets, 1 oz. finishing hop pellets...is that enough?
Any insights, thoughts, or suggestions?
Thanks!
