I kegged my "Yoopers Oatmeal Stout" 13 days ago after about 3-4 weeks in the fermenter. The only major difference in the recipe was the addition of 2lbs of sugar because I mashed to high and had a higher FG than I wanted and didn't want a 3.8% ABV Stout.
At kegging the beer tasted very good, a little on the sweet side because the FG was 1.024 but still very good and smooth. I even put some in growler and took it with me on a weekend trip to Asheville, NC. I poured a pint last night which has been over a week since Asheville and the beer now has a slight candy like flavor that is hard to describe but reminds me of a Belgian beer. I cant say for sure if its green apple, or cidery but I can say it didn't taste like that last week after kegging and and force carb'ing. I realized that I had forgotten to purge air in the keg after hooking up the C02. Could this be oxidation?
Other thoughts?
