Hi All,
I've been brewing beer after beer of astringent rubbish. Multiple recipes all have the same problem. My setup and steps I have taken are/is as follows:
BIRKO 40L exposed element urn. No chill. Water ph is 7
Step 1: stopped squeezing bag re: tannins
step 2: stopped changing temp (mashing out etc) to remove potential grain hotspots
step 3: stopped sparging
step 4: dialled back hops re: no chill
Step 5: used 5.2 mash ph stabiliser http://www.midwestsupplies.com/5-2-mash-stabilizer.html
all my beers still come out astringent/ super bitter. I'm sick of it. can anyone give me anthything else to try to try and fix this? Please ask for more info as I know I haven't given enough. Help me help myself!!!
Getting to the point where I want to throw it all in.
