Hello,
I have a question regarding my first batch of beer. I used Coopers Mexican Cerveza extract kit with 1.2k of Dextrose. The expiry date was not passed. I used filtered water.
I made sure I always sterilized my equipment. I used the 2 step fermentation with glass carboy. My OG was 1,044 and the FG was 1,008. The beer was always around 22c.
I didn't take excessive time to bottle nor did I splash by beer.
It has been just over 2 weeks and I decided to try a first beer. The beer has carbonation and foam when poured.
The problem is the taste. I find the beer to have a cider taste. Normally I like beer nice and cold, but this beer seems even worse when cold and I have a hard time drinking it. However it does contain alcohol as I did get a boot from it.
What causes this cider or appley taste?
