I brewed a dead guy ale wjich tasted great during bottling, ended up tasting like butterscotch. Ive recently done two batches, an apa and a porter. Before i begin i should mention that the apa has only been in the bottle three days and the porter only five. But i was exited to taste my apa because at bottling time it had a great taste, which now tastes of buttescotch. The porter actually tasted pretty damn good except it had a medium butterscotch flaver in the background. Im a little pissed because every one of the four batches ive done has tasted great at bottling time but ended up not tasting very good. I feel like im being sanitary enough, for the first three batches i soaked the bottles in bleach and scrubbed them with a bottle brush, rinsed them out about four times each, soaked them in star san and covered them with caps soaked in star san until bottling time( ~10 mins after star san soak). I wash everything out well using hot water amd a sponge making sure to get every square cm of everything and use star san on everything. WTF! Dear beer gods, sometimes i think you might not exist. But just in case, heres a prayer - please let my beer end up tasting ffffffffffing good. Dont let me keep making butterscotch drink. There. Thats it.
