If I remember correctly, co2 has a metallic taste to it. Your abundance of carbonation would support this. Reduce your psi, and your metallic taste should go away.

We call it hoggin around here

We all do it...

Quoted for troof Met my wife while livin it up a year after breaking up with my gf of 3 years. I wasn't even looking for another relationship, was just enjoying being young and single, then BAM, I'm married. Life's too short to dwell on the past. Keep moving forward and you'll have no regrets...

The best way to produce a lighter beer using extract is to add most of the extract 10-15 mins from the end of the boil. But you will still have a hard time producing extremely light colored beer unless you switch to all grain.

Where????

LCD turns on but relays won't work.

Picked em up this morning, thanks Tom!

Lol it counts sent items too??? Didn't know that. Cleaned again

Cleaned! Sorry about that

I agree, your specialty grain to base grain ratio is way off. Most 5 gallon batches MIGHT have a pound or two of specialty grains to roughly 8-9 lbs of base grain for an average sized beer. The hops could be contributing to the grassy profile, they have a grassy/piney flavor and aroma.

Love: convenience. It's within walking distance of my job. Hate: prices

Sounds good Tom thanks again!

Tom, as long as the hops are separated by type, I don't care how you bag it, I'll split it up when I get it home. Are you available weekday mornings?

At which you cannot calibrate in cold or boiling water. Thermometers are not always linear, so its false to assume that a thermometer calibrated at roughly 32 is also accurate at 150.

i got the "concerned about drinking" routine last week, all because I enjoy a (as in 1, rarely 2) beer after work every day. AND I drink 4-5 over the weekend, sometimes in one day, depending on the amount of physical labor I'm doing. I might have had 6 over the course of 8 hours last saturday...

So I pulled out a bottle of my APA that I bottled last weekend and threw it in the fridge this morning (I like to sample my batches during the carb process). Got home from work 20 minutes ago and I have 1 swig, nay, 0 swigs left. Delicious, balanced, hop character is subtle, but present...

Got scoresheets back last week from my first entry: 19. Phenolic flavors really drug my score down. I was afraid of this, but wanted confirmation that this was, indeed, what I was detecting.

Contrary to what the others have said, I believe I have isolated my plastic taste down to the garden hose, and it DOES mellow with time. Some couldn't even notice it in a brown I brewed, although judges jumped all over it. Give it a few weeks before dumping, there's a chance it might turn out...
