I love pale lager and they say its the hardest to brew right. ive always had a flaw an aftertaste in my partial extract bottled beers, kind of a cappy, cardboardy taste I would try aging for 6 months but still there, pretty clear it was getting oxenated, but how?
It was my bottling techinique, I was used to using my table or table high bar as a place to place my carboy on the then put bottling bucket on floor to siphon beer. then I would put the bucket on the table, hook up tube with bottle filler on it and fill up bottles. I was getting alot of aeration and foam in bottles, I finaly figured out the height of the table gave a lot of pressure to the 5 gallons of beer and caused foaming aeration when using my bottle wand filler.
For my newest lager I placed the bucket on a chair so it was about two feet or so off the ground and used a shortend tube, there was much less foam, aeration when bottling and now my beer finaly tastes like good pilsner, right after two weeks of carb time. I cant wait to see how it tastes after 5 weeks of bottle conditioning.
