I'm pretty new to brewing myself but I have not heard water source or quality mentioned in this thread. Is it possible that your source of water is bad. Either to much chlorine or a stagnant bacteria? Not sure how much that will effect the final taste of the beer as I am new to brewing myself...
I think you all may be right. I just tasted my second batch of beer tonight which is German light beer from the same kit company. It also had Muntons yeast in the kit. It had not quite conditioned completely yet but definitely has the same fruity apricot type taste.
My first experimental...
So my first brew I ever made is now ready and it was a kit beer. It was an all grain IPAD. It has a great head and color but it has an apricot fruity taste. I follow the kit instructions exactly. Any ideas?
