So far ive done 3 batches, 2 truebrew kits which were octoberfest and a belgian Ale. The last batch I did was a homebrew brand honey ale. The 1st 2 I did not use a wort chiller and may have pitched the yeast a little to early. ALL 3 batches have a funky astringent/fusel aftertaste that is harsh and not worth drinking. The last batch of the honey brew I used a wort chiller an did everything by the book, temp never went over 73degrees the whole time, pitched at 71 degrees.
I have been reading about under pitching the yeast, and maybe this is the case? All batches I used dry yeast and these packs may have been 2+ months old.. can anyone relate or advise why 3 batches can have a solvent taste? I almost want to give up brewing after 3 times undrinkable beer
