I brewed an American what a month ago, bottled it 2 weeks ago. It has an unpleasant mineral water flavor to it. My dad also tossed in some gypsum when I wasn't looking and was wondering if that could be the culprit. I have tasted this same flavor in some of his other beers and never in mine without the gypsum however, my other beers always have some steeping grains or partial mash component. Otherwise the recipe is as follows:
The recipe is as follows
3lb extra light DME
3lb wheat DME
1oz Cascade 5.5%AA 60min
.75oz Liberty 4.0%AA 15 Min
.25oz Liberty 4.0%AA 5 Min
SG: 1.048
FG: 1.016
Does it seem like the gypsum could be at fault or is my recipe a bit off?
