Hi all
I am new to this forum and new to brewing.I have made 4 brews so far all extract i am contemplating all grain but for now am happy to stick with extract.
My first brew was Woodfordes Wherry which i was very happy with so i brewed it a second time but added some Fuggles hops and again i was happy with it.
I then brewed a St Peters Ruby Red and it was nice but had an aromatic aftertaste and i thought it was not quite right. My friends tried it and said it was nice but also felt the aftertaste was not correct. I have now brewed a courage best and had the same after taste so im thinking it may be the sanitiser in the bottles (im not using a keg) im thinking i didn't drain the bottles off well enough and the bit of sanitiser left in the bottle is creating the taste. I am currently 2 days into a woodfordes tinsel toes brew and have bought a bottle drainer to dry them off a bit more. i am using brew safe no rinse sanitiser just for info.
A long winded first post i know but hopefully i can get some good tips here.:thumb:
