Alright so this is somewhat of a strange situation that I dont know where to start. Over the past few brews ive noticed gravity samples taste great (prior to bottling) and the beers come out of the bottle tasting very similar (and not very good) First was an altbier recipe that I wrote, tasted great before bottling and after carbing up tasted a little too sweet, and just off. Most recently I brewed the fat tire clone which was absolutely spot on prior to bottling, and now it tastes almost identical to the alt. The only real recipe similarity was munich malt.
what could this be? I'm carbing to style with corn sugar and measuring it on a digital scale. I thought it might be a water chemistry thing, but i had brews over the summer come out just fine with tap water (cream ale, a couple IPAs) I will be kegging as of next week, so well see if its a bottle issue. But im stumped on this one. any thoughts on this are greatly appreciated.
thanks guys
