Hi,
I just brewed my first batch, an Extra Pale Ale from a liquid extract kit. I fermented it for 2 weeks in a primary bucket, bottled it and tried the first one after 2 weeks. I tried a second one 4 days later. Both tasted pretty good, however both left a very slight burning feeling in the back of my throat like if I drank ginger beer.
Does anyone have an idea why this could be? My thoughts are:
- Maybe I'm sensitive to whatever is in Whirfloc?
- I sanitized everything with C-Brite at the .8oz per 2 gallon of water concentration and let it drip dry but didn't rinse with water afterward.Was that bad?
-Maybe I need to let it age more?
Any thoughts? I'm hoping I don't need to pour it all out.
Thanks!
