I have been making 10 gallon batches and am only able to chill down to around 80 F with my chiller since the water isn't that cold around here. So I pitch at 80 F and then once fermentation starts I start chilling the beer, if I try to chill earlier then I get suck back in the fermenter. Most of my beers (pale ale or ipa's) come out tasting the same with a weird after taste. I'm starting to wonder if it's due to the way I get fermentation going? Anyone experience this before and fix it?
