Thor said:Though this may not be part of the cause to the original problem (bad taste after bottling), know that, in addition to steeping at the temperatures noted, you should also avoid squeezing the grains to remove the liquid after steeping. This can also release tannins and bad tastes into the wort.
Guilty as charged . . . I pressed my spoon against the grains and squeezed as much of the "good stuff" out as I could . . . a mistake I shan't repeat again! Thank you for the tip!
