I've been all-grain brewing for about 6 months now, and I seem to have a recurring problem when it comes to pale-ish ales. I've been trying to formulate a good american pale ale and everytime they come out with a really obvious grainy flavor. I'm not sure what the problem is.
I use beertools to generate my recipes and mash temps, etc. I'm pretty sure that I'm not mashing to hot (maybe even a little on the cool side).
However I don't have this problem when I make darker beers. I've made an ESB and a dry stout, both of which have no more grain flavor that would be expected from a normal all-grain beer.
Just recently I bottled an american wheat with 50% wheat, and it has a really strong grain flavor too. So wtf? Does the great HBT knowledge trust have any ideas?
