I brewed up a Fat Tire clone from the LHBS. Tastes nothing like Fat Tire to me. I'm trying to decide if the sour funkiness I'm getting from it is the product of a the WY1214 Belgian Abbey (not II) or from oxidation.
Everybody says oxidation tastes like wet cardboard. I have no idea what that tastes like! I'll go to great lengths to improve my brews, like many here, so I tore a piece off a cardboard box and licked it. No taste.
Sprayed it with water. Licked it. No taste.
Let it sit 5 minutes. Licked it. Tastes faintly like a brown paper bag, but not much else.
Where is everybody getting this knowledge of what wet cardboard tastes like? Do you all just sit around all day and chew of your shipment box cud? Clearly I'm not doing something right. And I have no idea what.
Help me, box munchers!
