Back in January I used Homewinery's Riesling concentrate along with some QA23 yeast. It's been a couple months now and it has an odd smell/taste. It doesn't smell off as in bad, just a weird flavor/aroma. The best way I could describe it is minerally but it's certainly not something I've ever noticed/tasted in a commercial Riesling. I made a strawberry f-pac to go in hoping that'd cover up a bit and it has helped some with the taste but the smell is still there.
Any thoughts on this or advice on taking the smell/taste away? It's my first time with this concentrate and this yeast so I'm not sure which is truly the culprit.
