Hey all, I've been posting a lot lately trying to diagnose some issues in my extract beers. I started a thread earlier in the week about some bitterness in my first two batches. I decided to pull another taster today of my pale. I'm pleased to say that the beer is improving, and I probably jumped the gun and whined about the bitter finish. It still finishes a little dry with bitterness, but it may legitimately be hop bitterness. I'm happy to report that the beer is coming along well and the the beer is really improving with age (who would have thought, right). OK, but here's my real question:
I have complained that the finish has been a bit dry, but mainly that it kind of makes my throat mucus up and all together finishes kinda oily. Have you ever seen people like spit and suck it back in cause their saliva is all...mucusy (gross thread right). That's how it makes my mouth after each sip. What causes this kind of mouthfeel? Low levels of diacetyl? I did only let it ferment like 10 days then crash cool and keg...What gives? The beer was brewed on 4/9 and kegged on 5/6.
