I just bottled my Bell's Two Hearted Ale clone. Bexause of inconsistent carbonation, I've moved to a bottle priming process (only 1 gallon batches). I don't cold crash anymore either.
I rack from my primary, off the yeast cake, and into another 1 gallon sanitized jug. From there, I rack to the bottle primed bottles. After I finished,i I had about 4 ounces of beer left, so I poured it into a glass and put it in the fridge to taste.
I just tasted it, and it actually seemed salty and brackish, with some sweetness to it...Weird.. Since this little glass of beer had absolutely no priming sugar mixed into it, or added, what would be the cause of this flavor? I'm assuming its just "green beer," but. I wanted to get some other opinions. I also remember tasting this same taste in my DFH 60 Min clone, which I haven't opened yet, but should soon.
Thoughts?
