Hi all...
I brewed a biab pacific ale clone today... on completion I tasted a sample and noticed a fairly profound off flavour. For the first time ever i tried to sparge by pouring some mash-out temp water over the grain bag trying to chase some extra efficiency points. My thought was i may have extracted some unwanted flavours from the grain during this process.
I only have about 6 or so all-grain brews under my belt and have been progressively improving. My last brew being the best i have ever done, but I’m still on a very steep learning curve.
The brew is currently sitting in a cube really to dump in to fermenter. My question is should i still proceed in fermenting / cold crash and hope the off-flavour subsides?
cheers
