Back at the end of January I purchase a brewing kit from True Brew along with one of their Irish Stout Kits. I went through the all brew process and everything went very smooth until..... I opened my first bottle.
After 5 weeks it has a very dry hoppy taste that is ridiculously strong. I do not know if this batch is suppose to taste like this or I really messed up because it definitely is not what I was hoping for.
I have read all kind of reviews that if it leaves a tingle it probably is contaminated which it does slightly.
My original pitch temp might of been a little high, and there was a slight change in temp during fermentation. Would of these factors caused these taste?
Any input is appreciated as I wait for my bass clone to condition so I can drink it.
