Hi everyone,
My first batch of brew was an IPA, I only brewed 1 gallon to start, but it turned out excellent.
I moved up to 5 gallons and decided to try a blonde. Tomorrow, it will be two weeks that it's been bottled.
I put one in the fridge earlier just to see how it's coming along. It opened nice, poured great, has a great color with a nice frothy head.. but, it's tastes pretty sour.
It's not a hoppy sour, I love hoppy beer, but a vinegar even apple juice sour.
I thought, well, maybe it was the one bottle, chilled another.. same thing.
Any ideas what would name it so sour?
My first thought was an infection of some sort, but I figured if that was the case, it wouldn't have such good carbonation and look so healthy.
Everything went fine in the brew process, hydrometer readings, etc.
Thanks!
Judy
