Hi guys,
New brewer here. I've done 5 batches so far, all extract. My second and third were both ales from Jasper's brew supply. On those batches I used the Safale S04 and noticed that they had a weird after taste, not really sure how to describe it. I didn't reconstitute the yeast either time, just sprinkled before sealing the bucket. Has anyone here encountered anything similar? On batch 1 I used Nottingham yeast (same technique, just sprinkled), and batches 4&5 I switched to liquid yeast (don't remember what style) but that funky flavor was not present so I'm assuming I can attribute the flavor to the yeast. Has anyone on here encountered something similar? I'm getting ready to brew batch 6 (porter). Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Peter
