Batch Size: 10 gal.
9lb wheat
6lb 2-row
4lb chocolate
1lb biscuit
2oz. Goldings (60 min)
1oz. Goldings (10 min)
American Hefeweizen yeast
I recently (5 weeks ago) brewed a dunkel that I THOUGHT was infected due to the fermentation vessel I used. It smelled like a septic tank, tasted like what I imagine rat poop tastes like and the yeast cake looked like used motor oil. So.... I dumped it.
(pause while I sob)
So.... I made another and put it in a vessel I KNOW is clean and sanitized and guess what I got? The same smell and taste. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or if I am doing anything wrong at all. It would be nice if someone told me that the smell and taste is normal and in the end it will be the best beer ever. BUT, I don't imagine those flavors and smells to go away. Help
