We all know that sometime our batches go bad. What happens when a good homebrew beer turns into awful? We regularly in search that why those batches went awful or never were fine and the reason is that from brewing the same mistake we have done again and again or wasting hours on making poorer brew and don't know properly that what was the final result or end product.
We don't have the number of the people who are ready to taste our homebrew beer every day, which is the main reason to improve or refine and do quality control on your recipe, we are having a set of friends. As a casual brewer, quality control on the recipe is a highest order of priority. We must know that our beer should be high quality and if you want to sell it, then it must be available at affordable price. So, better knowing what went wrong makes all the difference.
Mainly the bad batches are the side-effects of the primary fermentation process or somewhat happen after this process, but it is not limited on these just two steps. The most ordinary problems come from improper brewing while doing this with yeast, barley or from hops and you can easily recognize these with the help of smell in on what went wrong.
Odor like boiled cabbage or rubber is normally come out when something went wrong in the yeast and a odor like a strong medicine is most likely when something went wrong in the fermentation process and the odor like soured milk or vinegar are from the flaws in the bacterial process. Odor like acetone is rare for home brewers although as this is generally a side-effects of a bad corn processing.
The important factor is to handling the homebrew beer at the time of preparing like after boiling the brew stirring or blending the beer too briskly will be filled with impurities and the air from the surrounding will degrade yours final product, which is not good at all. If your batch is exposed in the sunlight for a long period, then your beer become as a skunked beer. These all are the ordinary problems and can be removed without any trouble, you just have to stick with the basic procedure very carefully. One of the major issues is poor head formation and you need not to worry about the bad head formation until the taste of the beer goes good.
