my brew has been in primary a week and i decided to take a small taste.. and it had a "soapy" taste to it.. so prior to starting a new thread i searched around and tried to see why this is... the john palmer website said that the soapy flavor can come from the breakdown of fatty acids which gives a soap flavor, but this normally occurs when left in primary too long...its been a week so i am ruling that out
then i searched this forum and in a post awhile back someone said that a soapy taste can come from having too high of temp while fermenting and the yeast "explode" and release a fat that will give off this taste...i couldnt find anymore information confirming whether or not this is true
its has been HOT here lately and ive done my best to keep my brew sub 70, but im sure it has probably been mid 70s at some point
can this be the cause? will the taste go away if conditioned longer in the bottle?
thanks guys in advance for the help
