This is just something I've been noticing with some of my beers. And it only seems to happen with my extract batches. My all grains taste great. At bottling time, I of course try some, and they all taste and smell great. However, after a weeks in the bottle, they seem to develop this certain smell and taste, which I am pretty sure i can attribute to being extract "twang". Cause none of my all grains have it. My bottling clean process is pretty standard each time. Run the dishwasher on high heat and sanitize.
So for extract, does the twang get worse with age? Why does it taste good at bottling time, but taste worse when the beer is ready? Anyone else notice it? Maybe it's cause I've been drinking all grain for the past 6 months...
