I've made a few kits and I've had great beers always managed to get them 6 weeks old and they're fine. Now that I've been very productive I've had some that have gone musty or have an unpleasant yeasty taste. They've all been good at 6 weeks but as they've got older have gone past their best. Could this be the fact that I've been using swintops (not Grolsch) and they would have been OK in crown caps or have they simply past their sell by date?
Examples Woodfordes Headcracker bottled July opened last week (As per instructions all SG targets hit and 2nd fermentation with 4 ounces of light spray malt) Coopers Canadian Blonde (exactly as per Coopers instructions enhanser No1 and carbo drops) mid August and opened last week. Stored in the dark in the cellar 10-16c.
Thanks Pete
