I kegged a Saison on 5/26. Set the CO2 to 30psi for about 3-4 days. Backed it down to 15psi for another 3-4 days and poured a couple of pints. They tasted great! I decided to leave it on 15psi since.
I've had & shared a few more pints (maybe a dozen) over the next three weeks -- all decent!
Now, after about 10 days of sitting, I poured a pint to find the beer has changed dramatically. It comes across as pretty bitter, or even over carbonated. I've heard of "carbonic bite" but I'm not sure I've experienced it.
My question(s): Does 15 psi cause carbonic bite? Would having the keg sit for 10 days untouched cause something to happen?
I should say that I feel I go overboard with cleaning/sanitation.
Any ideas?
