Hey Brewers,
My first brew batch has a metallic finish in the taste.
I am wondering if fermenting at too high a temperature could lead to the metallic taste.
Below is pretty much everything I wrote down during the brewing process.
Any ideas?
I know a lot of information, but I figured that you guys would ask if I didn't write it down. LOL
It was made from an extract kit from MoreBeer.
It is a Brown Porter.
7 lb Light Malt Extract - Liquid, added 30 minutes into the boil
Steeping Grain - simmered at 165-170F for 30 minutes
1 lb English Brown
1 lb Crystal 40L
8 oz Chocolate
Hops
1.5 oz Cascade - bittering - boiled for 60 minutes
1 oz Cascade - Aroma - boil the last 1 minute
Wort Clarifier - Whrilfloc - 1 tablet added at the last 5 minutes of the boil
Yeast Safale S-04 dry - added straight to the wort and mixed
Original SG 1.056
yeast pitched at 70 F
Lag time to onset of Fermentation 12 hrs
The fermentation blew foam out the air-lock a couple of times, so I put a 3/4 inch tube into a jar of water and peroxide in place of the airlock.
Fermentation temp 68-72 F
Days in Fermentation 17 days
Final SG 1.016
Kegged on 17th day
carbonated for 1 week at 12 PSI
