i posted a few weeks back, saying that my coopers lager (after spending 3wks in the bottle) smelt like yeast. As in, the left over dreggs in the bottom of the fermenter. Anyways, today i bottled a coopers bavarian lager, and when bottling i had a smell and it smelt exactly like the coopers lager had done after 3 wks in the bottle.
I've also got a coopers canadian blonde in the other fermenter, and doing a hydro reading today, it smelt really good, unlike the other. So i'm now doubting that its a "coopers" thing.
The only thing i can think of is, i used a brewcraft german lager no.60 brew enhancer in both the coopers lager, and cooper bavarian lager. Could this be whats giving it the smell?? I wouldn't have though it would. The yeast used for both batches was 34/70.
At this stage, i'll be keeping well clear of the german lager brew enhancer, and more then likely keeping clear of the coopers brews.
What else could be the problem?? perhaps infection? or the fermenter not cleaned properly??
Has anyone else had the "yeast" smell experience? and did it go away with more time spent in the bottle??
