We've actually brewed about 12 beers, and mostly all of them have had this odd after taste that we would describe as sedimenty/yeasty/bananna esters taste and we're trying to figure out how to fix this.
Stuff we've run into:
We've had some good beers, but they could all be improved with removing this off flavor from our batches. Any help is appreciated!
Stuff we've run into:
- We haven't ever tried a yeast starter, and we were told that maybe our yeast doesn't have the count or time to cleanup after itself.
- fermenting around 70-72 degrees
- Sometimes (but not all of the time) we've re-racked the beer before the yeast is done to preserve some of the sweetening sugars.
- We rerack ~4 gallons after around 10-14 days in the primary back into the 7.5 gallon glass carboy. I was told the amount of air during the secondary could be giving us bad flavors.
- There's a decent amount of bubbles from the star san in our bottles when we are bottling
