Howdy !
so I brewed a full grain IPA Kit beer. believe it was about 10 lbs 2-row and 3 pounds of 15L 1 oz of chinook and 1 oz of centinual . and it was supposed to go 1 oz At 90 minutes, 1/2 oz at 20 minutes and dry hop with the rest.
But i did 1 oz at 90 and 1 oz at 22 and 1/2 or so of Willamette hops and Dry hopped with Willamette .
I Used White Labs 007 Ale yeast (I wanted to try Californian ale yeast but they were out)
pitched at 70 F and the fermentor hit 72/73 for a few days and then locked onto 70. the closet i was using saw a low-hi of 68-72
This has been my case for almost every batch i've made. Usually i use 1056 Ale yeast. I've made starters but the last 2 times i did not.
Also i use one of those aerators that slips into your 3/8 tubing. My setup is a Keggle that gravity drains through my plate chiller with the 3/8 tubing through the airlock opening and ends at the aerator bit.
Usually i also stir with a sanitized spoon for additional aeration, This time I did not.
But i've had this same off flavor several times.
left it in the fermentor for about 3 weeks , the beer tasted great at that point with out any real off flavors (tasted better then, than it does now IIRC)
I boiled a few cups of water and corn sugar following a carbonation calculator.
fast forward a month of bottle aging ... and the beer overall is pretty good. Its over carbonated .. but produces a Huge Head and really good head retention . there's an off flavor that you can smell when you pour the beer. drinking it shortly after pour you totally taste it too.
I've been bottling with 16 oz swing tops and i was drinking out of a 16 oz glass. so i had to pour wait like 5 minutes for the foam to die down. drink a little and then topped her off.
then i had to do my toddlers bedtime routine , and she got out of bed a few times in a row. It must have been 45 minutes easy until i went back to my beer.
almost all of the off flavor was Gone at that point.
a few of my friends (who do not brew) Like the beer and the off flavor does not bother them at all..
but to be honest it bugs the ever living :hs:!nestar:#nestar out of me
Oh i'm using the Garden hose outlet with an RV Hose attached. the water is totally drinkable , but does have a slight hint of "hose water" to it
. This batch was about 100 minutes of Mashing with 90 minutes of hop boiling . easily 3 hours of heated . oh and i used one of those campdem (what ever they sell you to remove chlorine ) tablets at the very start
