Hitting a wall with beer making...
Just kegged my 4th batch of a morebeer IPA. First 3 batches were extract and last was BIAB all grain. All fermented in Fermzilla @ 68-70F. Left in primary for 3 weeks then keg conditioned for a week in kegerator. Water was spring the first 3 batches then used a morebeer garden hose filter for the last batch with a campden tablet.
The first 3 were terrible; bland and bitter and ultimately dumped. Thought it was an extract issue so this last batch went all grain. After 4 weeks, it's better but no where near up to par (wouldn't buy it at a store if canned). Good color, very bland flavor and somewhat bitter.
No clue what is going on.. Following directions to the T. Hit all mash numbers based on recipe. Everything cleaned and sanitized with StarSan multiple times. Very minimal oxygen exposure.
Any glaring issues?? Feeling defeated.
