My first couple of problems really didn't have a problem with diacetyl, but my last two have had some serious problems. The first one, I think I pitched the yeast at too high of a temperature. But the last one, I got the temp down to 67 for pitching and fermented at 65 (Amber Ale with American II yeast from Wyeast). I let it sit in the bottle for 12 days at 60 degrees for bottle conditioning. The smell and flavor make it nearly undrinkable...unappealing at the least. I didn't make a starter, but I haven't made starters before and it turned out okay. Can anyone help point me in the right direction for help?
