Re: ""yeasty"" flavor
#1
I don't mind a slight hint of yeast taste (sierra nevada happens tobe one of my favorite beers) it's just mine was so strong. I'll letmy next batch clarify before drinking. I was just concerned to seeif my first batch worked. quick question though: I'm wanting toserve this to some friends and i'm not sure if they'll detect thetaste after clarifying or not, do you think if i poured it throughone of those brita pitchers it would filter out all of the yeast andif it did would it filter out good parts of the beverage?--- "ramjammn" wrote:> --- In E-Z-Caps@yahoogroups.com, therockinc@y... wrote:> > My first beverage just finished fermenting.
