Hey guys,
My first batch is a scottish 80. I bottled it on monday. The beer tastes alright except for a predominant off-flavor. Its a bit hard to describe but it seems to correspond to DMS. I know I shouldn't diagnose anything before bottle condition is done but I can't help it. One thing that leads me to this conclusion is that DMS is volatile, and we left our hydro sample on the counter for almost an hour. After that the off-flavor was completely gone. What do you guys think? If it is indeed DMS, do you think that time will fix things?
