oh and i also added 1kg of golden syrup to the fermenter before pitching the yeast

I would try leaving it alone for a few weeks then trying it again. I would think at that strength you want to give it at least 8 weeks to condition before it will start tasting anything like reasonable.

Im hoping it will (settle down as it conditions ) think it will sit in the corny for a few months

Did you boil the golden syrup? I did a brew with a honey addition and didn`t boil it and it tasted a bit funny - I was told its best to boil anything like this - dunno if it could be this though? I`ve since done a honey brew with boiled honey and it was lovely

Brambling Cross are the main source of flavour in my favourite ale - Legless Rambler from the Beachy Head micro brewery (winner of the Eastbourne festival 2010 so it ain't just me :grin: )

Sorry for jumping in - just back from the Tiger Inn after imbibing said favourite ale.... :drunk:

Everything I drink just lately has an orrible earthy taste eddie, I'm not enjoying many beers, the odd one but not the majority.

& thats commercial beers as ell as my own.

i had a tangy jaw pain every time i drank from my last batch, only had afew drinking from it, waited to see if it would loss it but i didnt, ended up just tipping it down the drain.

p.s how do you boil the honey ? water in a pan then add the honey or just honey in apan? but wouldnt that turen it into caramel like texture??

 

[31bb3]

No i didnt boil just added it to the fermenter after

Maybe should have put the syrup in while wort was boiling that way it avoids those odd tastes :thumb:

Well that was the original plan boil for 15 min but spoke to guy at LHBS he said just add to fermentor i think it may be just the yeast still in suspension giving it the odd taste if you have a god swig its not too bad but if you sip and sort of swill round you mouth you get the straw like taste very odd
