Why does your home-brew beer taste like wine?

Answer 1

There can be a number of causes. One is that the fermentation has not been completed and there are sugars left in the beer. Another is that a wine type yeast may have gotten into the mix and caused a different fermentation process. You might take a sample to a local beer brewing store or microbrewery and get an expert opinion on it. A:

Tastes like wine is too vague to know for sure. Do you mean it tastes fruity or maybe tastes vinegary? Ales tend to be more fruity flavored, and they're the most common home brews because they ferment at room temperature. A vinegar taste can be from not sanitizing the equipment good enough and getting a bacteria growth.

Answer 2

Yes all beers are called beer, but no one specific style is called simply beer. Beer is made up of two families. Ales are the older of the two having been discovered as long ago as the dawn of civilization while lagers have come along in the last couple of centuries. The difference between the two involves yeast type, fermentation temperatures, and the length of fermentation. That's the short answer I could fill out much more on history and specific differences. Cheers.
