Used recipe as follows to brew a Golden Ale a few weeks ago. Just finished keg carbonating and it's not at all what I had imagined. I'm not getting any sweet malty flavors or creamy mouthfeel. It's not terrible, just very crisp and sudden... No smooth edges. Definitely not a sanitation issue (been down that road before).
8 lbs Pale 2-row
1 lb Vienna
1 lb Munich
8 oz White Wheat
8 oz Flaked Barley
1/2 oz Cascade 6%a, 60 min
1/2 oz Mt. Hood 5%a, 20 min
1/2 oz Cascade 6%, 20 min
1/2 oz Mt. Hood 5%, flamout
White Labs WLP036 Dusseldorf Alt.
The only thing I changed from the original recipe was the yeast. The original recipe called for WLP080, however my local brew shop was out.
Any idea where I might have gone wrong?
