My first time brewing my own recipe, half 2row, half wheat, ~20 IBU and some german Mellon hops at flameout. Added a 60oz bottle of pom juice near FG and the beer turned nice and dark, smelled wonderful. 3 days later the beer has a minor purple tint and I can't taste anything from it really. It might have a tiny bit of tartness but it's really hard to tell. FG also dropped to about 1.010, I was hoping it would be a little higher mashing at 154. I'm using some allagash yeast fermented at 65 but with the juice it got a little sulfury.
I guess to have any sort of pom taste I need to pasteurize/add sulfates and add more juice? Or should I just make an infusion of orange and coriander and give up on the pom? The beer tastes very bland. I added a little stevia to a glass and it wasn't the right solution.
