This would be the second batch of a "like" lighter beer where the results. Both with a 2 row base. Everything looked great on beersmith. We used a pH stabilizer. One of the beers was mashed at 149 for an hour (this being the first, we attributed it to a cheap thermometer) This second we kept a better eye on the gravity and ran it until we reached our target of 1.046. One mistake that we made on both was that we didn't get the mash to mash out temp before our first runnings (instead we heated our strike water to 168, rookie mistake). Question is, would that cause an overly sweet beer? What are some other factors that could factor into this off putting taste? Thanks in advance!
