Hello,
I recently bottled about 26 Oktoberfest beers. I am still new to carbonation techniques, and usually use some form of tablets to carbonate per bottle.
When bottling, I was a bit short on tablets, and used 1/2 tsp table sugar per bottle for about 6 of those bottles.
I have opened a few of each type now, and the table sugar is much more carbonated compared to the tablets. And other than that, I haven’t tasted a difference.
However, I brought a sugar primed one over to a friends, poured it into two glasses to split it, and it had a strong salty taste.
I recently read something about overcarbonation could have excess carbonic acid that could give off a salty taste. I can’t find anything definite about this, but was wondering if that is a thing that could happen?
Just trying to track down where that salty taste could be coming from. 3 different people tried it, and we all agreed to the salt taste.
Cheers!
