Hey, all. New home brewer with 5 batches down. The fifth batch is my problem.
I'm a huge fan of Kiltlifter by Four Peaks (Arizona locals). It's a Scotch ale with an ABV of about 7%. I used a Brewers Best kit and added 3 pounds of table sugar to boost the gravity. All of the readings showed that everything was fine, but after bottling I found the taste to be really odd.
The head is thin, it's very carbonated but it doesn't stand up. When drinking, the initial flavor is a good Scotch ale, but the finish is almost candy sweet with really heavy sour. Did the table sugar muck things up, or did I maybe get an infected batch?
