i made a american wheat with sweet orange peel.
well i did as expected. the notes pointed out flaws i thought i noticed.
i ended up with a score of 24 out of 50.
flaws would include Astringent,Phenolic,yeasty
it has a harsh aftertaste, or band-aid like. everyone said check my water. i used spring water from the store. i also had head retention issues some would look amazing then the next would look flat but fully carbonated.
one judge said possible infection. this judge had a lot to say so its possible he said it was sour. i wish i could have tried it i bet it was good hah.
this is my stab at what i did wrong. water, and had not fermenter temp control. i just set it in the basement for a week at 68F. at the peak it was at 72. after the first week i moved it upstairs to around 72-74F daily temps that was for about a week. i also dry hopped it for 4 days. the hops i used the bag had a hole in it so i did it to help with the aroma.
if anyone wants me to send the notes send me a PM with your email and i will send the PDF.
