So I brewed Pelikan's DC Raspberry Stout (see recipe database) a while back and it was tasting GREAT for the first 4 weeks. After that, however, there was one hot weekend and I think the room where I do the bottle conditioning got way too hot. I had a single bottle bomb. From that point on, every bottle that I opened just fizzed over like crazy and has an acidic taste. It's not completely ruined, but man, it just doesn't taste half as good as it did early on, and now I'm so spoiled, I just can't drink a full bottle. One thing I noticed is that all of the bottles have quite a bit of sediment at the bottom. I'm just trying to figure out what it might be, because I'm super anal about keeping everything clean.
Could it be:
1) The hot weekend ruined the batch?
2) I transferred too much trub into the bottles?
3) The batch got infected?
4) All of the above?
Thanks in advance for your input!
