I brewed 2 different blue moon clones that were both about 40% wheat 50% 2 row and 10% oats. They both have some crushed corriander and some dried orange peel added about 5 min flameout. Hops where a basic bittering and very low bitterness. The first one used white labs amercian wheat yeast (low floccuating) brewed around 68-74. The second was US-05 (medium floccuating) brewed at about 66-72. Both where in the primary for 2 weeks and 2 weeks secondary. mash was at 152 for both
The off taste i got on both was kind of a bitter, dry and sour. It kind of taste like yeast bite but i dont know how i have that. I kegged both and let the first one (much more bitter) sit at 40 degrees for 2 week and it still is bitter the other transfered to keg and tastes bitter as well at 2 days cold condition. I only get this taste on the wheat beers. I have been told that wheat should be ready to drink by 3 weeks why is my older aged beers taste so nasty! Has anyone else got this or got a solution. I dont think i have contamination. Would adding some gelatin to the keg help if the taste is coming from low floccuating yeast? I will try and make the description better but i cant really think of exactly how it taste. The best i can do is when you drink some, you kinda get dry mouth and stick out your tounge.
If it helps i can choke down a glass and see if i get the screaming s**ts or get crazy gas
