Hi everyone, had an interesting experience tonight. I am getting ready to bottle this weekend so am taking a few sample to make sure that the SG is steady. It's coming in at 1.007 - should be right to go for Sunday. But when tasting it, I get this bitter sweet taste hanging around at the back of my throat. Here's the recipe:
1kg light LME
250g DME
150g Crystal 55L
12g Goldings EK at 60 min
12g Goldings EK at 30 min
12g Goldings EK at 1 min
Batch Size 10L (small I know)
OG 1.035
FG 1.007
Fermented between 20-22degC for 12 days now.
I'm not too worried and won't do anything rash until its good and carbed, I'm more just curious as to why and how this sweet aftertaste can occur - not real keen on it hanging around in an Ordinary Bitter.
Thoughts?
