Greetings and Salutations Home Brewers,
So I have a Red Ale that has a peculiar after taste to it. Might be an infection but I think its a mutation to the washed yeast I used. The beer finished at 1.008 instead of 1.012 with the Wyeast 1968 I had washed from a previous batch. Beer looks fine but has a definite "hot" alcohol aftertaste to it (Band-aid taste perhaps).
So before I dumped this keg and make a sacrifice to the beer gods... Is there anything I can add to this keg to offset the off taste to make it a bit more palatable? What are some things that that my fellow brewers have done in situations like this?
Looking for options...
Thanks
