Been disappointed in the nose of a few of my batches and think I have it linked to yeast settling in the bottom of the keg.
It was odd.... 1st glass would stink, then it got better. After a few days, the 1st glass would stink, then it got better. The last 1/2 of my keg always tasted/smelled great.
To fix this, I will do the following...
1. I aim to increase my primary time to "FG + 10 days" min.
2. I plan to discard the 1st 1/4 glass each time, if the keg has sat for > 1-2 days.
What else should I do?
Does anyone use standard wine floculant products to clear the beer? ($2 would be worth it to me if it would help)
Would cold crashing get this out for me? (I am unsure where to get the required cool temps to allow me to do this)
Suggestions?
