Hi guys!
My brews have always been put in bottles but I just recently switched over to a kegging system. For my first batch in the keg, I used an AG kit and did a basic blonde ale. It tasted like watery nothing. Needless to say, I dumped it. For my second batch in the keg, I used my personal recipe. In the bottles, it is a very creamy, full bodied, dark amber color and hoppy beer. In the keg, it came out looking like foamy light yellow water and all you taste is the hops, no grain or biscuit flavor. I dont think I have an acid bite on the kegs or anything, I do a slow carb from the co2 in the fridge. My regulators usually only at 10-12. I thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the keg and lines before both batches.
What do you think is causing such a loss in flavor from what I had in bottles? Do I need to up the amount of grain in my recipe? Thanks for your thoughts!
