I brewed a hefe last sunday;

OG 1.064, pitched a 2L starter of WLP300 @65F

i keep the fermenter in one of those black insulating beer jackets with ice wayer bottles.

ive been monitoring the temp pretty closely. it gotup to 68 maybe the first day but has been hovering around 64-66 since

today i measured the OG at 1.024 but i tasted it, and it had that fusel back taste that we all know. its subtle but its there, im highly sensitized to it and there is no mistaking it

i thought this temp range would be fine....

can this be caused by over aeration also? i did .5L/min for about 4 minits once the wort cooled

will this taste subside in the short time before i will keg and serve?

thanks
 
Id ramp the temp up to 70-72 degrees for 2 days after fermentation is complete..

To drive out of that flavor .. I would recommend at least 12 days at 64-66 and then 24-48hrs at 70-72.


Your temp range is perfectly fine though.

And no not caused by over aeration.
