Hi all. Fairly new to brewing. So far all extract brews. Here's my problem:
After fermentation, I've tasted each beer prior to bottling and carbination. Everything seems to taste great. Then I bottle and carbinate, and after a few weeks, each beer has had varying degrees of banana flavor.
My understanding is that the banana flavor comes from the fermentation temp. But I store my bottles in nearly the same location that my primary fermenter sits. If it tastes fine prior to bottling, why am I getting the banana flavors after bottling, if they're at the same temp?
Any ideas? The beer isn't bad, but could be a lot better. Thanks!
