Hey guys,
This is now the second batch that I have noticed this, so I’m just curious if I’m starting to go crazy or not.
I’ve brewed two batches a little while ago, both are partial mash. First one being an ipa and second being a neipa style with fruit additions. Both were amazing in the keg and then upon bottling after a month or so to make room in the keg for new batch, a slick flavor of butter or butterscotch has definitely taken over. Or at least that is the flavor I am picking up because my wife doesn’t seem to notice anything like that as I do.
Both were hopped at some point with Citra hops and I feel that this might be the culprit but I just don’t know why I would be tasting the flavors after bottling something that’s been great in the keg for months prior. I also don’t think there is any oxidization issues because I’m fairly careful and haven’t noticed any diacetyl issues with any of my other brews.
I’ve never noticed these flavors in commercial Citra hopped IPAs before so I’m not really sure what to think. Maybe my diacetyl threshold is higher then normal? but I can’t figure out why I would notice it on these two beers and not the other ones..
