My latest mid strength pale ale was drinking very well after 2 weeks in the bottle. A little thin but super hoppy and very refreshing.
However, it has now all gone to shit at the 4 week mark. The hops are all but gone and it tastes like mouldy cardboard. Which I understand is what an oxygenated beer would taste like, but as I also understand oxygenation could not happen this quickly?
Something I did notice when I was bottling was the odd bit of yeast cake getting pulled through as the fermenter had not sat completely level and the yeast cake was tilted close to the tap.
Could this explain what has happened?
