Alright, after a rather successful first batch I was very eager to get my 2nd batch going. So browsing along Northern Brewers I found a Kölsch extract kit (I'm trying to get the hang of it first before I go all grain... and I need the space for it too) and I ordered it. Brewed it about a week or two after receiving it. It all went well and I tried it out for the first time tonight.... and I could tell almost immediately I screwed up somewhere. I grabbed one of the Kölschs I had sitting in my fridge to compare it to and well...
Definitely can see there's something wrong with it.
While I know something went wrong with it, I'm not entirely sure where I went wrong. Maybe something went wrong a lot earlier and I didn't recognize it? Maybe the fizz drops didn't do the job? Maybe everything went wrong? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It tasted okay I guess. The taste dissipated early and kinda left a lingering aftertaste to it that the others in my fridge didn't leave. I'm kinda disappointed with it but I wanna know what I did wrong, so I don't repeat the same mistakes for the 3rd batch.
