Evening ladies and gents,
Im stumped. Im 4 kits in to my brewing career. I've managed to not carbonate, carbonate, make it cloudy, make it clear and various other silly little mistakes through a good bit of trial, effort and reading!
However - I cannot for the life of me knock up a kit lager that doesnt taste extremely sweet/cidery. I have looked at all of the common causes of this taste and to say that im anal with my cleaning now would be an understatement. It simply cant be that...
This time i experimenting adding slightly less sugar to the kit to ferment, really all I would seem to have accomplished is making the brew a little less ABV according to my readings.
Im at a loss... any advice? Is it simply the method in which it is brewed? (kit+sugar, ferment, then rack?)
Regards
Sad Badbrew.
