Hey everybody,
I realize that "jumping the gun" is a common rookie mistake but this one is weird. I recently brewed a moose drool clone using WLP002. I let it set for about a month in the primary at around 74ish degrees. (I know, a bit too long and a bit too high...could be the problem) So here is the issue...when I transferred to the secondary, I noticed that it tasted kinda spoiled or soured...I could even use kinda rotten flavored. Well, unfortunately I had just pitched the slurry from that into a pale ale that I just brewed. Now the pale ale has the same flavor. I'm guessing it's the yeast. I guess my question is...do you think that flavor will go away? Now the moose drool clone is about 6 weeks old and has only been bottled 1 week and the pale ale is only 2 weeks old and still in the secondary.
Thanks,
Taco
