ok one of my recent batches has been in the bottle 1 week so i figured I'd try one out tonight and see how they're coming along. One thing is a lot of my earlier batches had an estery taste due to high fermentation temps, so this is the first brew I used a swamp chiller to keep the temps lower. It fermented at an outside stick on therm temp of 62f with nottingham yeast. Now, it has a buttery taste to it. No esters that i can detect though. Is this just the taste of young beer? Or is it something else. I used star san to sanitize.
