hey again,
just a question for those of you that have been kegging for a while:
I mostly do partial mash batches due to time and ease, and have now kegged my fourth and fifth batches since I started kegging. However, I'm noticing in the few beers I still have left on tap that I tapped in early november that they seem to be losing a bit of their original flavor and are getting a little bit harsher (i.e. just a rougher, more bitter-like taste, kind of abnormal) than they used to be over the last week or so. At least, one of them is - my amber - the other, my stout, is just losing its creaminess and fullness and is taking on more of the dark grain flavor tones.
j/w is this an effect that generally occurs when kegged beer is on tap so long? or is this something that may be due to using malt extract as a base? I never seemed to have this problem with bottled beers - they seemed to stay fresher longer, but I guess that would make sense, since the seal on them remained untouched.
Don't know... just looking for any input on the subject. any thoughts or comments are appreciated. i can provide more information on their storage if it will help narrow things down.
