hello everyone,
kinda new to posting, although i have come to this forum a lot for help. i've been brewing 1 gallon batches for a while now, and for some reason, almost every batch has had a yeast flavor, regardless of the strain of yeast i have used and regardless of the style. it's always come out with this specific flavor. i feel like my sanitation is good, everything i do throughout the brew process is good. when i pitch my yeast, i drop it down to 62-65 and then *****. i let it ferment around 65-68 the first 72 hours and let it naturally rise. i've been using dry yeast since it's easier to manage with small batches. i don't have a wort chiller, i use ice baths. i do primary ferm for 2 weeks, bottle condition for 2 weeks, pop it in the fridge a few days to a week and then drink. still a slight yeast flavor. and not a desirable one like with belgians. just off flavor. help!
