I have only made a few batches of beer so I don't know much yet. This last one was an Oatmeal Stout. I put it in the primary for 1 week, secondary for 2 weeks, then bottle conditioned it for 3.5 going on 4 weeks. It is tasting a little better, but not much. It has a weird hard to describe taste like someone added dish water or something.
The first stout that I didn't din't taste like that at all. I used White Labs yeast, but it didn't bubble no where near as much as it usually does. I know that is not always an indication..but.
Anyhow. Do I need to condition it longer. How long do I keep it in the bottle before putting it in the fridge. And finally, how do I know if it is just a bad batch of beer? What could have caused it to be bad?
As always, thank you for your infinite wisdom.
