Planning to re-brew these recipes minus the 6-row. Will post results. These batches have really thrown me for a loop. Thanks to everyone for all the help!

That's my next plan. Repeat one the batches exactly, minus 6-row. Thanks!

Not much in my area without going at least one hour in any direction, but thank you for the suggestion.

Batches were various combinations of older/newer grain, Rahr 6-row, Briess Brewers malt, Rahr pilsen, Malteuroup 2-row. In some, there were higher percentages of older malt, others inversed.

One batch did have some pilsner malt. It's not corny, and depending on the batch I boil for 75-90 min.

Those batches were also BIAB and they did not have that flavor. I am not double crushing. Not sure what my crush gap is, its the standard setting for my barley crusher purchased from AIH.

Hello to all! I thought after many trial and error, frustration, and many "sentence enhancer" words, I would finally post my problem to see if anyone could help Dx my off flavor. First, I've been brewing for a number of years now from extract, partial, to all grain. I use a 16 gal pot with a...

Dropping 2 degrees F every 4-5 hours may have been too quick. It has never given me issues before, but it is very possible. I plan on brewing a 2 gallon test batch to see what happens. Thanks!

Proper yeast amount pitched per Beersmith. I crash around 2 degrees every few hours as to not crash too quickly. Lagering time was approximately 5 weeks.

Here is the first experiment... ...Looks very nice, but there is something off slightly about it taste/smell wise. Not bad, just not quite right. Slightly thin/cider-ish. Maybe subtle acetaldehyde. Not completely convinced though. Will try the other experimental batch when it is done carbing up...

Apologies for the delay. I am a travel RN and have been away. Carbing up as we speak!

I currently have two versions (from 1.5-2.5 gallons) in the process of cold crashing over the next few days. Will post results when finished!
