I recently brewed a maibock and it has a slight flavor that tastes a little like welches grape juice. I don't have the recipe handy at the moment but I can post it later if needed. Essentially it had pale, maris otter, munich, crystal, and carapils. It was originally a dead guy ale clone recipe that I thought maybe I could modify a little to save a few bucks and replaced some of the maris otter base malt with a little pale and cut back a little on the munich....wrong...it is a completely different beer now. Its not necessarily bad but I was wondering what would cause a concord grape flavor, would it be one of the ingredients or did i get an off flavor from something else?
Anyway I suppose maybe I need to pick up a 55lb bag of maris otter so I don't have to cut corners next time.
