Acoustic fret buzz

Just restrung my guitar. Now the bottom E string starts buzzing around fret 11 and then gets worse and completely dies until around fret 17. Then starts working again?

Did you use the same gauge strings? Same tuning? Etc? Sounds like you could use a truss rod adjustment for sure to flatten out the back bow.
 
Easy to check if you need the truss rod adjusted. Hold down the low E at the 1st fret and the 14th fret, and then look at all the frets in-between. There should be a very tiny gap at the 7th fret (like a business card or so amount). If there's more gap, then tighten the truss rod, if it's touching the fret then loosen it.

Any chance you just got a bad pack of strings?
