Agh! Very frustrating! So I've brewed 5 all grain batches to start my short brewing career. The first one was awesome and the next 4 not so much. I brewed two zombie dust clones, Ed wort pale ale and lastly a wheat ipa. All have a FG of 1.01-1.02. Way to low! They all have had a similar taste as well. Even though theyre different recipes. You can just tell something's not right. Very dry and a weird harsh bitterness. I checked all batches with two different hydrometers to confirm gravity. The first batches were fermented in a bucket so my most recent batch I fermented in a glass carboy to see if the bucket was maybe bad. My last batch I even built my water using RO and additions per bru'n water. I currently use a keggle and 10g cooler. I keep a 5g bucket filled with starsan that my bk drain hose sits in durring the boil along with my funnel, airlock, and bung. I spray my ball valve down with starsan after the boil, which when I do it steams like crazy so I know it's good and hot already. I keep my beers in a temp st-1000 controlled fridge for fermenting. I kegged my most recent batch last night and could tell right out of the carboy that it's the same as
the others. I've made probably a dozen batches of wine and never had an infection. It's frustrating as hell. I spend all this time and take the proper precautions or so I think to avoid this. What the heck could I be doing wrong?
