OK, so it been about 2-weeks at 60 deg F (each was racked onto hops) with each keg of my split batch. The wet cascade/dry centennial batch tastes clean, crisp and fairly hoppy. The dry cascade/dry centennial batch has a flavor I cannot quite describe..it seems to be a lingering middle flavor I am unfamiliar with. I wanted to use the word plastic or rubber but there is also some perceived sweetness I think. I THINK it could be an off flavor, but am struggling to describe it and ID it.
- Both kegs were clean and sanitized (to the best of my knowledge)
- Both batches were from a single 10-gallon batch and tasted clean and nearly the same before transfer to keg with hops.
- Both hop bags were sanitized.
-The "clean" batch was wet-hopped with cascade, the not-so-clean batch was dry hopped with cascade and had 2 sanitized marbles as a weight in the hop bag (forgot the marbles in the wet-hop batch)
Do dry cascades have an almost sweet taste when dry hopping? It's almost an off sweetness that lingers on the tongue? I know its nearly impossible to evaluate a flavor from another person's description, but any inputs are appreciated.
I am chilling and carbonating now.
