hi everybody,
I recently bought a kegging system for my homebrew, and for my first brew using it I was amazed at the difference between the kegged beer and the bottled beer.
My keg only holds 18 L of beer, so the remainder I bottled as normal using white sugar for priming.
When both batches were ready I did a comparison and was suprised at the difference. The bottled beer seems to have what I call the typical homebrew smell and taste that I have been used to, but the kegged beer tasted closer to a commercial type beer.
Seeing the beer came from exactly the same batch, could it be the priming sugar that is altering the bottled beers taste.
I would be interested to know if anyone else has noticed the same thing.
