So I bottled my first batch of beer (nut brown ale) two weeks ago
and I sampled one last week and again tonight. The beer how ever
tastes thin with a strong alcohol after taste kinda like molson xxx.
My qeuestions are what did I do wrong? From what I can tell
I have good carbonation, it hisses when i pop the top and if I poor it
rough I will get a huge head. So I I can't figure out why it taste
thin , lacking body. Also the alcohol taste; the only thing I can think
of is that I used vodka in my air lock and it may have leaked alot
into the beer. I know the first few times i put the air lock on
I had to quickly replace the vodka like it had got sucked into the
fermentor because I pushed on the lid and created a suction.
So basically what is casuing my lack of taste. And can the vodka
cause a strong alcohol taste?
Ps.
I wrote this on my itouch so forgive the formatting
