Hi All,
Been pushing out a few smaller batches of the last couple of years and decided I'd scale up this year with one big 60 Litre batch of the good local juice (100% Orange Pippins)
Using my same procedures and process, same Yeast, Lavlin 71B
Ferments were good, nice and clean nothing out of the ordinary.
left them for a couple of weeks to clear and settle in the fermenters as I usually do.
Came to the time of bottling and noticed they had a slightly yeasty smell and taste still.
Have had this occur in the past and it dissipates during the conditioning process.
I'm now 6 weeks in the bottle and the brews are not carbed up anywhere near where they usually would be for the same time and dose (13g/L) and they still maintain the smell and taste aswell as they haven't dropped the sediment yet,
they are usually at least 80% clear by this stage....
Any ideas?
anything I can actually test for??
It looks normal and has for the entire process.
I've had an infected beer before and you really knew it, horrible rotten smell and taste,
none of that here, just yeasty.
