Hey all, I have another question for anyone. I just brewed an Irish Red Ale from Midwest. This was the first time I did secondary fermentation, I racked to secondary glass carboy after 1 week, waited 1 more week & bottled.
When I bottled, I tasted a wee bit of what was left that would not fill the last bottle & it tasted smoother, yet I almost detected a kind of "watered down" taste. I could be crazy, and I'm hoping that after carbonation & refridgeration that it will be good (it wasn't bad, just seemed watery).
So, my question is; if I followed all the instructions & put the correct amounts of ingredients in and everything, what might cause the 'watered down' taste? Or do y'all think maybe I'm just being paranoid? Thanks in advance for all your input!
