My last 3 batches have tasted way too malty, and frankly, not good. Not sure where the problem is. I’m using extract kits from northern brewer and some of them I’ve made before with no issues. Doesn’t matter if I ferment in a bucket or glass - I get the same malt-dominant flavor. And I can taste it before bottling - so I know it’s either the boil or fermentation. Any ideas what will cause this? I used dry yeast in all, and definitely fermenting at higher temps than i would like(75-77), though that’s the same as I’ve ever been able to ferment at. Same result with 2 IPA’s and a chocolate milk stout. The last IPA was dry hopped even and all i can taste is malt. Would like to get another batch going but definitely not if it’s going to taste like this again. Any thoughts?
