strong yeast flavor- how to reduce ?

[seastrike]

Brewed a great batch of Belguin wheat, but left the beer on the yeast for 3+ weeks before I had a chance to move to carboy.
Tried a taste and the yeast smell/ flavor is a killer.

Need some ideas on how to reduce the yeast flavor/taste, so this becomes drinkable.
If not, this one's a waste !

I am thinking to open the keg and add sliced lemons to offset the yeast smell/flavor...........
Suggestions appreciated. HELP !!

It shouldn't pick up any more yeast flavor because you left it on the cake that long, if anything the yeast would clean up the flavor a bit.

Did you ferment warm or anything?



Or maybe


Is this your 1st time tasting a beer with belgium yeast?

You can do a couple of things. 1 you can let it sit a couple more weeks and age a little. 2 you can crash cool it for a week. Both should clean the beer up.

If you want to scrub the yeast, rack it to another keg and add 1/2 Tbps of gelatin that has been completely dissolved in hot (not boiling) water.

Give the keg 3-4 days and the yeast should give up the ghost and fall out...then rack to another keg and chill for 7 days.

Don't forget it will taste completely different once you carb and bottle condition it...
