Green beer is flawed beer. No one likes it.
So pitching at 90 degrees and using tap water is bad?
This is interesting, I have had beers that tasted pretty good when very young, at like 15 days from grain...then after about a week not so good at day 21. Then by day 30-40 the beer was excellent...different form the original fresh beer, but good.
Do I like green beer...I don't think so but had to ask!
Anyone else notice this cycle beer tasting!
MachineShopBrewing said:The reason your beers taste great right away and then not so much after another week is because all of the small particulate matter is falling down to the bottom of the keg and becoming concentrated right near the outlet tube. This particulate matter is stuff like yeast, tannins, polyphenols, etc...
If you get an extra dip tube and cut it in half, you can use that for the first half of the keg and then replace it with a full length one later and that should help you avoid this phenomenon.
What is the "green" beer taste? After improving a lot of my practices (and I keg) I have found that my beer is pretty darn good once it's carbed up.
Yuri_Rage said:MSB, exactly. Most notably, increased pitching rates and decreased fermentation temps should produce fine results (and no "green" character after about day 4 for average gravity ales).
What about stale LME? Or LME in general?
So So under pitching, pitching at 90 degrees because one doesn't have the proper cooling methods for wort and perhaps using tap water could all be culprits of this?
