Hi all
Festival 40 Pint Home Brew Beer Kit - New Zealand Pilsner
Relative newbie here, brewed about 7 batches since lockdown and just got a bad one. Second time I brewed this one, first time was fine but this time it is very bitter and has an old grassy flavour. From reading about this issue says could be due to hopping too long, but only dry hopped for 2 days. Also bought the 2 kits at the same time so would hope they are the same batch
Normal process is FV for 3 weeks @ 19C until steady gravity, dry hop for 2 days in bag then remove, crash chill for 2 days @ 1c to clear then corny keg and force carb. Been in the keg for 4 weeks now and no change, the bottles also taste the same
Any help would be great, not looking forward to ditching 40 pints!
