Hello fellow homebrewers!
I recently switched from kits to allgrain but I keep having the same problem.
When brewing weizens, either kits or allgrain they keep coming up too "acidic"-lemon like, tasting like cheap alcohol with a lot of carbonation without any typical banana-clover taste.
The off taste seems to come after fermentation.
All other brews (pilsners, IPAs, APAs etc) taste pretty good.
Sanitation is ok, fermenting temp. is about 18-20C (66F).
Could it be that I pitch a little warm at 25C (77F)?
Or that I use table water (pH 7.9, 9.2mg Cl-/l)?
Any other thoughts?
I attach my last Dunkelweizen attempt with the same results.
Many thanks!!
