I just kegged (first time) a Blind Pig IPA extract clone and I noticed some off off flavor that wasnt there when I kegged or even a few days after kegging. Tastes very creamy and caramely. Could this be diacetyl... I'm pretty sure it fermented long enough?
My OG was around 1.080 and my FG was 1.020. I let if sit in a primary for 12 days around 70deg before moving to a secondary where it sat for another 10 days. While in the secondary part of the recipe calls for some flavoring hops as well as adding oak chips. Could the oak chips be causing this flavor? I've never actually had this beer before so I don't know if its the desired taste.
The strange thing is, before it went into the keg it didnt have this taste. I through it into the keg and let it sit for around a week at 12PSI. Then I poured my first glass that it still lacked that flavor although it was a bit flat. I then bumped up the PSI to 14 and let it sit for another few days. It's at this time that the strong creamy caramel taste became evident.
Any thoughts on why this happened and/or how to rectify it?
Thanks
