Hi
My last 3 brews have a very strong alcohol taste and and smell. For exemple, I opened the fermenter to transfert in keg and the empty fermenter was smelling strong alcohol in all my apartment
I thought it was fuzel alcohol caused by too high temperature, so I made a brew in my keezer at 59 just to test. Same result again.
I dont understand what im doing wrong. The only thing different from my usual (only about 13 brews) is that I use a plastic fermenter instead of a glass one and I don't do secondary fermentation. The salesperson told me that it was not necessary.
I also suspected that I could have put the yeast at too high a temperature before cooling, so I wait until the next day before putting the yeast. This does not solve the problem.
Just for information, the 3 last beer was wheat ale, two hefe, one belgian strong. I dont know if this can help
Do somebody have an idea of what could cause this?
Thank
