I am frustrated right now
I fermented a kolsch and a falconers flight ipa for 3 weeks each. I cold crashed the kolsch for an additional week and let the falconers flight sit in my swamp cooler.
Kegged both Saturday .. At 30 psi with shaking
Tasted today ...
The FF is soooo delicious and carbonated and wonderful. The kolsch is aromatic and somewhat carbonated, but tastes "watery." It is very light and just doesn't have much taste.
All brews were normal, 5 gallon mini mashes. Kegged Saturday morning at 30 psi and than brought down at 8 psi tonight.
Thoughts? Are kolsche typically flat/watery tasting until carbed or did I screw up somewhere?
