Hello.
I'm on my 6th brew and at least two of them have a sour taste that I would not think fits the recipes. One of them is Number 8 belgian recipe (from Northern brewer) and the second is a Irish Red recipe I got from the recipe section here.
I ordered the liquid yeast (belgian and Irish Ale) via Morebeer with frozen gelpacks with them and the shipping was about 10-14 days. I made a yeast starter and the yeast seemed to be ok. The fermantation took off and I got a pretty good FG before bottling.
The tast of both of these beer is to sour in my opinion and I'm wondering could it be the yeast although it was still alive (got fermentation)?
I also fermented probably at too high heat because I fermented at room temperature.
I'm not 100% sure that the beers are not ok but they both seem sour after 2-3 weeks in bottles.
