A friend and I started brewing early this year and I am quite puzzled by our last two batches, maybe someone here can hlep me out and explain to me what is going on.
We are currently brewing 5 gal batches together and then each take one case after bottling. With the last two batches his case has turned out like crap while mine is fine. The only variables are that I store mine in a cool room in a dark corner away from light and any heat registers and his wife tells me that his sits in a dark unused bedroom BUT in front of a heat register. I think that this location is the problem. Unfortunately I am too inexperienced in tasting off flavors and very green beer to identify the off flavor experienced his beer. Can anyone clue me into what I should be looking for here?
Also, does my daignosis sound accurate? Since this is the only variable between the batches I don't know what else to attribute the difference to.
Thanks
