First time poster, long time lurker. I wonder if you all can tell me if an infection can make a beer taste sherry-like. I know that it normally means HSA but for my last batch, I made absolutely certain there was no HSA. My LHBS guy described it as "tart, sweet and alcoholic" and diagnosed high ferment temps but my most recent three never got warmer than 65*. This same flavor has ruined my last four batches (I have 20 or so under by belt). I planned to brew today but crap, I hate dumping beer! I'm holding off until I get this diagnosed and fixed.
Dumped batches:
Honey nut brown (two batches)
German Wheat
BM's Ocktoberfast
