Hi All,
I have made couple of brews lately and due to my own fault I don't think the filter/keg and tubing was sanitised properly or at all and once filtered and kegged the beer tasted fresh, hoppy ext (although still very green) but once it has been sitting for a few weeks noticed that it was developing a honey aroma and sweetness that was overpowering the actual beer and hop flavour.
Has anyone else ever had this problem and would it be due to bacteria and/or possible oxidation?
Think I will be tossing this keg as the honey/sweet aroma and taste is really ruining the beer.
I have had this happen a couple of times and thought maybe it was oxidation, will try my next batch not using going through the CB filter and see how it turns out.
Thanks !
