Hey everyone,
So I've been brewing for a couple years now. Have gotten pretty comfortable with my all-grain process and have turned out some decent beers (I think). But I have always had this off taste in my beers. Something I don't taste in other beers. Its subtle, not necessarily bad, so I've ruled out an infection of any kind. I feel like it masks my beer's true flavor though. It doesn't matter if it's a pale ale, stout, IPA, that flavor is always there and pronounced above what I think the beer "should" taste like.
I think its just trub or sediment in the beer. Typically if I taste the beer after it has sat in the keg for a few days I get the weird flavor. If I wait a few more days the flavor is reduced but not gone.
I will try to describe it but I'm not really sure what I'm tasting. Maybe bready? My beers are always pretty cloudy even if they come out of the boil pretty clear. I've done a lot of reading to try and diagnose it but haven't had much luck yet. Anyone have any ideas?!
Thanks in advance for all your replies...this is a great community!
