i've made a few batches (extract) of an grapefruit APA/IPA and love the beer. i've been kegging all the batches so i can crank them out quick to get a feel of what i enjoy. so i decided to bottle a 5gal batch so that if my keg ran dry i'd have a few back ups. i cracked a few open and really don't enjoy them. they were primed with dextrose.
So i did this same thing with a blonde ale. kegged 1 batch and bottle another. i did everything i could to keep the procedures and temps the same. once again the bottled beer doesn't taste as good as the kegged.
I'm kinda thinking that the adding of dextrose for priming sugar is effecting the taste. i have bottled from my keg and have no issues with the taste.
So my question is, does anyone else find their kegged beer tastes better or is it just me??
