Kegged a brew yesterday, and am stumped by the results. This is an ESB, a copy of one that we previously did. Same ingredients, same mash schedule. The previous brew was very tasty. The current one has very little body/maltiness. Good bitterness.
The SG's of the first beer were 1.059 original gravity (post-boil) and 1.029 final.
The SG's of the second beer were 1.061 original and 1.030 final.
The one difference between the two was the time in fermenters. The second brew was in the primary 2x as long as the first brew, and in the secondary 3x as long as the first. Fermentation temps were fairly similar (controlled conditions).
Any guesses what may have happend to the body? Thanks.
