Kegged first extract and tasted good week 1, week 2 more bitter/alcoholy taste

[DeadBrew]

For my first batch I brewed a sweetwater IPA clone. After kegging the beer tasted decent compared to the real IPA, same hoppy taste but with fruitier taste than original. Pleased with the first batch ever. A week later tried the beer again and now it has a stronger bitter taste to it, almost like real alcoholy taste. Has anyone experienced this or know what causes this?

Beer can change in the span of a week, hard to believe. Give it another week, or two ....

So can a beer go from good, to bad, to good again? What causes this change?

 

[DeadBrew]

What would cause this?

So think I figured out the issue. Even though I used a muslin bag to filter the dry hopped secondary in the keg I guess after a week of sitting in keezer the remaining particles dropped. This caused all my beer to taste bitter/alcoholy since I was pulling from the bottom of the keg. I have since "drank the bottom" out of the keg and back to original flavor. Anyone else experienced this?

Anyone have better ways to filter dry hopped beer?

I cold crash and rack from above. Doesn't really answer your question, but short of a sanitized grain bag over the racking cane, I got nothin'.

I cold crashed for 7 days and used muslin bag around siphon but I guess with pellets the fine particles is the downside.
