Hi all,
On my second ag brewday, (Smurtos Golden Ale) all was going to plan and decided to have a wee drop of the Black Beer that was my first ag, Yummm :icon_drool2: Only had a couple but must have affected brain function anyway.
I got to my 5 min hop addition but forgot to add my Irish Moss and only realised at flameout, where I proceeded to add Irish Moss and stirred without firing up the burner again. I didn't want to overboil my aroma hops, so decided to let it settle out as it was.
1 week ferment, 1 week cc, gased, drinking and there is this strong, sharp almost chemical aftertaste. :blink:
The only thing that I can think of is not boiling the Irish Moss for 5 mins as per directions.
It's not an infection as the aroma and initial taste of the beer is sensational.
Can anyone confirm my suspicions?
