So... I have brewed 3 batches in total and I'm noticing a trend that I'd like to correct. Please help!
1st Batch- Irish Red Kit- Turned out okay- Took a long time in the bottle to taste palatable. Very Carbonated, Cloudy, and slightly metallic taste (like pennies). Think of it more as a dark Pilsner than an Irish Red.
2nd Batch- Hopstache Black IPA- In the carboy 3rd week now- dry hopped and moved from the bucket to the carboy after 7 days. It has been in the carboy for 2 weeks now and the SG is still changing and it's still not at the correct SG. It's sitting at 1.8? After tasting the most recent draw- it tastes murky....kinda off, not like the Red.... but kinda thick... My husband says sour.
3rd Batch- Coffee Stout- Boiled, pitched, ready to add coffee and move to the carboy anytime now. SG is in range (1.2?) but it is starting have the same cloudiness issue as the other two batches.
Any recommendations for a newbie?
