Just tried my latest lager Sunday and BLEEE. Definatly not what I was hoping for. Now I need to figure out where I went wrong.
I had almost zero head developement which I am putting on the fact that I did not repitch my yeast when I bottled. The beer itself has an aftertaste that I haven't had before. I did ferment at the lowest end of the temp range so I am wondering if the culpret might be high Diacetyl levels. The taste is hard to describe, kind of a chemical taste that hits the front of my toungue.
Has anyone had any experience in what Diacetyl tastes like. This is the first brew that I have done that I would call undrinkable so I guess I should count myself lucky, just don't want to repeat the mistake.
