I'm fairly new to home brewing but have already bottle about 10 batches. The first three I used coopers drops to carbonate the beer but for the other I have used dextrose.
I have used a carbonation calculator http://hbd.org/cgi-bin/recipator/recipator/carbonation.html?13900079#tag to make sure I don't over do it with the dextrose.
I have found now after having tasted beer carbonated with coopers and dextrose that the one with corn sugar have this overpowering taste that cover the taste of the beer. I didn't have this problem with the coopers drops.
The oldest one I carbonated with dextrose is just over 2 months and the taste is very present. I cannot recognize the beer I put in the bootle.
Will that dextrose taste ever dissipate or this is it?
In the meant time I have gone back to coopers drops.
