My third batch of beer is undrinkable. I think the taste is better described as astringent rather than bitter. And I think the cause may be that I squeezed the grain steeping bag to save time (do not to that on two previous batches of acceptable beer).
Questions:
- If that's it, will the astringency mellow with age in the bottle?
- I live in a hot climate. Could this be caused by fermenting in a closet that is frequently more than 80 degrees?
- I don't think I had a sanitation problem, but if I did would I be getting this kind of taste? Or something else.
