I recently brewed a batch of beer and it has a strong 'off flavor'.
I can't easily describe it. It's not one of the common off flavors such as buttery or astringent. The best I can do is say powdery. Now, I've never stuck powder into my mouth, but I imagine if I dumped a small amount into my beer this is what it would taste like.
My impulse is to quickly blame the yeast here. It's the first time I've used it and it has very little reviews/comments. So I don't want to do that just yet.
Anyone have any experience with something similar?
If it matters it is a simple Czech Pilsner. Some Saaz hops and light DME. Nothing else.
