My first all-grain brew has been conditioning in the keg for 2 weeks and we just tapped it last night. The orange and coriander are great, were it not for the beer. The taste is like drinking a big mouthful of liquid wheat and the brew doesn't taste at all like widmer hef. It really doesn't taste good. I think I will throw it out, and chalk it up to the first all-grain experience and getting used to the keggle, cooler, batch sparge method. Hard to throw out 10 gal of beer though. Is this a hard beer to brew or did I mess up formulating a recipe? Perhaps the white wheat malt did not convert?
