Hey guys.
I have been making some so-so brews lately as I am getting better. I am having trouble with anything that is not a porter or stout though. What I get is a tangy or a twangy taste. I am not adding citrus. Anybody else ever experience this? This has happened to me with my hefe, pilsner, belgian, and oktoberfest. I know it is hard to tell without actually getting to taste it, or seeing me do my process, but if anybody has any info on how to reduce twang, please let me know. Even if it isn't something I need to do, but something I need to stop doing.
I have switched to all grain since my last extract batch. It was a stout, so obviously the tang was overpowered by the roasted barely, if there even was one. So my methods have drastically changed. But it was the same tang in all 4 brews. Any thoughts?
Sorry that is so vague. It was a while ago that I brewed those beers.
