I did a partial mash of fat tire amber ale clone. From what I can tell I did everything right by the recipe. I popped one of the bottles about a weekago to check on carbination and flavor. Carb was good but the flavor started out as almost straight water taste then the flavor came in. Flavor was great once it come to. Any idea what cauzed this?
The recipe was-
2lb 3 oz Light DME
.5lb Munich Malt
.5 lb Carapils
.5 lb crystal malt
6oz biscuit malt
1. oz chocolate malt
1 oz willamette 90min
.5oz fuggle 20min
.5oz fuggle 0min
1tsp irish moss
Wyeast 1272
steep at 154 for 30 min ( i did walk away for a min and when I came back temp had reached 165)
rinse 170
boil 60 min
fermentor bring water up to 5 gal. (took me a little longer to get to pitching temp about an hr)
pitched yeast at 70 deg
fermented at 68 degs for 10 days transfered to sec. fermt for additional 7 days. bottled on the 5th of March.
Will this water flavor go away and blend in with the flavor over time? or did I go wrong some where...I almost have to laugh and wonder if I should have conditioned the bottles on their side like it says too...
