Here's my recipe:
5.5 lbs muntons wheat
5.5 lbs muntons wheat
2 oz german hallertau 60
2 oz german hallertau 30
Irish moss 15
1 oz saaz 10
6.1 ABV (16 to 9 brix). Beer Smith predicted 6.6.
This is the third recipe in which I've had a medicine-y taste. Some smart people here suggested chlorophenols, so I tried campden tablets. The result was still medicine-y.
I next had my water tested.
Any ideas...??
