Brew #4 - Kolsch in Da Hood Bottled and waiting for consumption, Bock not so good!

Bottled my bastardized Kolsh on February 10th and will post an update after the first sampling in a week or two. As far as my American Style Bock is concerned (see below), it may be a bust. I used the Munton’s yeast that came with the kit and should have known better. I believe the off flavor, sour bitterness comes from that yeast strain. Next extract kit that I make, I will be sure to replace the cheap dry yeast with a good strain or simply go with a White Labs liquid yeast strain. I am holding on to hope wit the Bock and will sit on the bottles for another month or two to see if the sour bitterness settles out. Time will tell!
