Gday all...
I have a pale ale which tastes pretty close to what i expected, however it has a very unusual/ unpleasant aroma...
The recipe was;
1 Coopers apa can
200gm crystal steeped at 70c
1kg brew enhancer 2
15gm amarillo at 20min
US-05 yeast, reused from trub (about 1 litre of trub)
The smell is like.. old socks???
I think it may be due to overpitched yeast, is 1 litre too much? It has some resemblance to "dead yeast", or like the smell you get from an old unlceaned beer bottle..
It fermented at 20c so not too high
