I know that there's a lot of threads with similar keg bite problems (i usually like to lurk 'n learn), but haven't found anything that addresses my issue specifically.
So, I just kegged my first batch (virgin-run of Biermuncher's Centenniel Blonde, good results/flavour prior to kegging) but after about 12 hours in the keg it's got a harsh (and only slightly mettalic) bitterness
Steps I took prior to kegging
cleaned the keg (overnight soak with oxy, thorough rinsing)
Tested with water
while I was waiting for the beer to ferment I Crank and Shake force-carbed a couple gallons of water and tasted , made Italian sodas etc (for science) Soda water tasted fine
When beer was ready
Starsan cleansed keg
purged with CO2
siphoned to keg, capped and connected at "serving pressure" (the degrees on my regulator are strange/nonstandard but I set it at a reasonable pouring pressure from the tap that I had determined when I was playing with the soda water)
so, this morning when I woke up I wanted to try the tap, knowing that it wouldn't be fully carbed. the first few ounces were bad/warm due to the lines, but even the second pull gave beer that was still bitter and less enjoyable than the un-carbonated beer I had tasted previously from the bucket.
So, what I'm asking is, isit possible to have bad Co2 related flavours in beer that isn't even fully carbed yet? And how should I proceed? DWHAHB? (should it balance out on it's own?)
