i'm deep into my second case of a batch that started out very nicely but is now presenting some off flavors. the most prevelent of these flavors, beyond a little yeastiness, is a distinct smell of apple juice.
the recipe was a brewer's best extract kit, "continental pilsner", saaz hops, 3.3 lbs light LME, 2 lbs DME, nottingham yeast.
the beer is about two months old at this point -- four weeks fermenting and aging, and four weeks in bottles.
so where do these apple juice smells come from? why are they apearing now?
