Left it in the primary for 6-7 weeks. My gravities turned out perfect. I tasted my beer and there high bitterness/medicinal taste with some phenols. Heavy molasses taste to it. Great look/head. Very little beer aroma. The more it oxidizes, the worse it tastes.
I pitched the right amount of yeast and was super clean.
Only thoughts I have are:
1. I clean my bottles by leaving in One Step for a few minutes, scrub with a bottle brush, drop in an Iodophor bath for a few minutes then put back in the case for bottling. I don’t wait until their dry and I also don’t rinse from the Iodophor.
2. Left it in the primary for 6 weeks and the proteins in the slurry started making off flavors. However, 6 weeks in the primary isn’t too bad for a 1.067 beer.
Really disappointed. Only had a couple bottles and will be a pity. I don’t want to drink this stuff and most likely will dump it unless aging will help.
