Try brewing some "simpler" beers bud, ones not reliant on big dry hops. Betting you'll be far happier with the end result. Plus, you can learn what the grain and hops have to offer, and yeast for that matter.
I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong. If I'm right and it's diacetyl, I'm wondering if it could have been the temperature? I brewed this back in January with no temp control. Too cold for the yeast to reabsorb the diacetyl?
The weird gone off fruit smell I'm still unsure about. Any suggestions?
It's been in the bottle about a month, so it may still sort itself out.
