I made four great tasting Oatmeal Stouts and on the fifth one I put 5.2 in the mash. The beer doesn't taste so good. It has a bite to it on the aftertaste, I'm not sure how to describe it, maybe acidic or astringent. I heard on the Brewing Network show that someone said they did the same thing with a stout and it tasted bad and one made without it was good. Anyone know why this would happen? I'm going to try the 5.2 in a Pale Ale but no more with stouts.
ENJOY YER BEER and let them that don't want none have memories of not havin' any!
