I recently got back into brewing and brewed by first batch back. Im set up all grain. brew went well no hiccups. Hit mash temp perfectly and mashed for an hour, batch sparged with 170ish degree water and boiled no problems. It was a ipa clone kit. Dry hopped for 5 days. Just tasted it after a week botled and im kinda disappointed. Its ok. Nothing special at all. Ive brewed probably 30 beers (mostly extract ) and all had a twang to them. I thought it as from the extract. This has it as well although much less pronounced.
Liquid white labs Opshaug Kviek yeast was used. Fermentation temps were 70-80s as the optimum fermentation temp range called. cooled down to about 65 for dry hopping. Then bottled. Its pretty cloudy. i know ipas are typically hazy.
Im about to get a new fridge delivered monnday. Next brew is an oktoberfest so ill be lagering it.
I also just purchased a used kegerator with 2 corny kegs.Ive never kegged before.
Any tips? What have you done to improve your beer?
