Last night I was restocking my keezer and I poured myself a fresh saison. That beer tasted sour, but I thought it should.
I then poured a cream ale... Tasted sour like my saison. I thought I maybe I miss labled the keg. WELL, I proceded to taste the next 12 kegs (6 different variety) and most of them taste sour. The only ones that didn't taste sour are the hoppy variety.
I make 10 gallon batches so I had 6 different beers.
The only thing I did differently with these brews is that I naturaly carbed them with priming sugar instead of force carbing like I usually do.
I think I screwed up when I added the sugar. This was a new bag of priming sugar and I used 3.5 oz per keg. HERE IS WHERE I THINK I SCREWED UP.. I did NOT boil the sugar, I just poured it straight into the keg and let it sit for a month or two. These beers are sour smelling and tasting, and are over carbed and foamy.
Is this caused from pouring the priming sugar directly into the keg without boiling it first?
I am so upset. What do you think caused this?
