oily mouthfeel "trappist"

[bloke]

I recently brewed a trappist style beer with pilsner 13% weat malt 32% and pale ale malt about 39 % and some speacial b and 500g of candy sugar.
OG=1.080

fermentation(wyeast 3787) around 19-20 degrees celsius was starting explosevly obout 12 hour after pitch. and fermenting for 3 weeks very slow in the end down to 1.015

now when its finnished it has a lot of body and tastes good but i get this oily feel in my mouth almoust like the same fell when you taste cream... slippery mouthfeel "lubricated"

why does it do this?

cheers

Diacetyl, in low amounts, presents as an oily feeling on the mouth or tongue. In larger amounts, it has a "buttery" or "butterscotch" taste. It sounds like you have some diacetyl in your beer, causing the oily mouthfeel.

thanks yooper! I did not think of diacetyl at all, maybe because i cant seem to find any buttery butterscoth taste. i have reanalyse and se if i can find it afterall. i guess i could have eliminated tha diacetyl by boosting the fermentation temp at the end, which i didn´t

Are you still on the primary yeast cake? If you leave it on the cake for a bit longer it could clear up that problem, perhaps give it a swirl or two to get some yeast in suspension. Hopefully you just tasted your gravity reading (I always do that) and so are still in the primary.
I have cured a Diacetyl problem in the past by pitching a one liter starter into my lager and letting that chew up the Diacetyl. I resolved next time to just pitch way more yeast initially.
