I scanned the forums and couldn't find a similar post.. if i'm mistaken please forgive me. I've been brewing for a little over a year and just recently switched to all grain. I'm also slowly buying what i need to start kegging. Here's my question...
Is it common to have the same batch of beer taste different from bottle to bottle? With extract i noticed it however the taste of the extract seemed to over power my beers but now that i'm doing some SMASH recipes and brewing on the ones i'm really seeing some inconsistencies from bottle to bottle. Sometimes it's more hop heavy on the nose, sometimes more bitter/less etc. The color differs as well. I can understand the basic chemistry of hop oils and sediment, etc.. but i figured bottling out of a siphoned batch would give a change to mix?
info on bottling process: I bottle with a bucket that i auto siphon into from a cold crashed carboy. Very little to no sediment in the bottles. This particular batch i used p002 for yeast and i cap with a handcapper.
I also clean everything with pbw first and then sanitize prior to bottling.
Any help is appreciated!
