I've used this strain on several of my beers now and they all seem to come out with this weird flavor in them. The best way I can describe it is a sourdough twang. It's not bad, just not a flavor I want in that beer. As the beer ages it goes away, but still in the background. I did read that this strain is prone to produce more fusel alcohols than others, but I fermented both around 66.

All of my other beers come out fine, it's just the ones that use this strain that are off. I am pitching the proper amount of yeast and oxygenation with pure o2 as well
