OK, so I know I said I'd be taking some time off here, but this has to do with one of my current in-progress beers, my six-grain cream ale (5.25lb 2-row, 11oz each of rice, corn, rye, wheat, and oats).
It's been 3 weeks since bottling and it's carbed by now. But between bottling and opening it's developed an overwhelming estery flavor (like pears, oranges or peaches). While this is certainly an interesting development, it's not at all what I was shooting for, and I really didn't expect US-05 to throw that kind of flavor profile, especially during bottle conditioning.
I'm attempting to cold crash a few bottles to see if the buoyant yeast is part of the problem. Has anyone else experienced a light beer with a supposedly neutral yeast developing unexpected flavors?
