A while back I made a batch of my Flakey bitter, and dry-hopped half of it. The un-dry-hopped bottles were great, nice and clear, clean fresh taste. The dry-hopped ones were, well, cloudy. So I left them. Since then, I've drunk all the good ones. So tonight I thought I'd try one. It maybe cloudy, but I've drunk plenty of cloudy beer that's tasted fine, or at least acceptable. Well, it doesn't taste great! ☹ I wish I had one of the other half for comparison. It might even have a slight metallic taste. I did a search on 'metallic taste' here, and most of the talk was about passivating metal containers. That can't be the issue here. But it's put me off dry-hopping bitters again. And yet I use the same d-h technique on the parsnip stout, and it works perfectly! Bottled 6/1/22, so plenty of time. Any thoughts, anyone?
