I made two batches with this yeast. One an ESB, and the other an english bitter and they both taste 'phenolic' or twangy. I thought this yeast had a pretty good reputation? I make AG batches, and my process is down pretty good. I used quality ingredients, and this taste has not shown up in any of my other batches. I fermented at about 65f (ambient) but do not have temperature controls.
Anyone else find this? I am thinking of writing this yeast off, thought I still have a packet and hate to waste
