To add: Here was my post about the yeast. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/same-flavor-every-batch-yeast-157380/ Also, I brew with spring water and have been since Day 1. I switched over the yeast to one of the brands recommended in the above thread, and still got the flavor. So I'm...

I have had similar problems and all the beers have the same aftertaste. After some time I'm thinking it's almost a yeasty taste, but it's hard to place. Here's what I did: - upgraded everything to glass and stainless steel - switched over to corny kegs for fermenting and a kegerator (no more...

Thanks for the responses. I always use filtered or bottled water for brewing. The yeasty flavor is kind of a sour-ish sweetish taste. Kind of hard to describe. For my lighter recipes they often come out pretty sour and then they slowly mellow over a month or so after the initial 6 weeks of...

I have been brewing for about 4 years now. Seems like no matter what I do or how long I wait, I always have the same yeasty flavor in my beer. I usually use the little yellow packs of Muntons active brewing yeast that are sold at my local brew store. I've tried lots of different fermenting...

Thanks for the replies! Maybe I am a bit confused. Here's how I pictured a lager working out: 1. primary fermentation in glass carboy, temp controlled in mini fridge. 2. transfer to secondary fermenter or corny keg for cold ageing in mini fridge 3. tap and enjoy after a few weeks. Granted, I...

Greetings all, I just put together a Danby mini fridge kegerator and I'm wondering if I can double it as a lager fermenter - 45 degrees might be cool enough for what's on tap. I measured a 5 gallon carboy at my local brew shop and it's diameter might be just barely enough to squeeze in...

Now, before I get into detail, I have four firsts on this brew: 1. first time I've done primary fermentation in the glass carboy (I've brewed for 4 years using the same 5 gallon bucket with spigot from my homebrew starter kit) 2. first time I've used pellet hops. 3. first time I've used...

I've trolled this forum for years and decided to finally subscribe. I just put together a kegging setup and a Danby mini-fridge kegerator. In the process of putting that together I haven't brewed for awhile, but I have a carboy bubbling as of last night and I can't wait to keg it!
