It's actually soaking in PBW now. I don't know what the hell was in the keg but I'm not taking any chances. It's completely broken down and soaking. But I will take that advice when sanitizing.

Last night I made my second trek out to my favorite LHBS to grab another keg to put into the rotation. They sell what the call a 'sanikeg' and they offer swaps as well. Which I've done multiple times in the past. The first time I went I came home set everything up, made up some sanitizer, got...

Haha that sounds like something I would say. On second thought maybe I will clean it myself. Either way I'll know I got rid of the keg that had the funky beer in it.

Thanks much. I will give this a try. My LHBS does a keg swap and the last one they gave me is kind of beat up aesthetically. I'm thinking about taking this one in for a swap which would save me from having to clean and sanitize. They are very trustworthy and I trust 100% that they would give...

Like I said I did have the water tested. I posted the results here. I may have to see if I can borrow some bottling equipment. I got rid of all mine when I successfully (once was) moved to kegging. But that's definitely one thing I have wanted to do because it would completely rule out the...

That is a great idea. The only bummer is that it will take a week to see if this flavor comes on. Thanks.

Hey LovesIPA, Thanks for the reply. The flavor is indeed fine when it goes into the keg. It's even good for a few days after. For my keg cleaning: -Take apart completely -Soak 24 hours in hot water and unscented oxi/tsp90/citric acid filled to the brim- I used to use PBW but it's just too...

Hey Beersk, Thanks for the quick reply. Since replacing everything (but the regulators) on the gas side I have had the same off flavor on one batch (of one) which was a wheat. What really bothered me was that after burst carbing the keg it was delicious and I thought I had taken care of it...

Couple more things to mention: -All grain -I always use new packets/vials of yeast -I am getting my grain from the same LHBS as before

Hey all, I'm having this extremely annoying issue that I cannot seem to figure out. Ever since moving into a new house I have not had one batch of drinkable beer from the keg. It's really hard to describe the taste but it's slightly sour and maybe a tiny bit metallic. I find the beer to be...

Thanks so much for the help. To answer a few questions: I brew all grain, usually wheat beers or IPAs. My process is pretty solid. The only thing that changed since I moved is that I now have to work outside with a propane burner (house is all electric). I've never heard of over sparging...

I recently moved into a new house and have not made a drinkable beer since. Previously I always kept the kegs full of deliciousness. Now I can't even give it away. Not that I would want to anyway. Every beer ends up with this 'bite' in the back. Upfront it usually tastes fine. I taste...

If it was just the probe wire I wouldn't be too worried about it. It's set up like that now. But there's also the heater wire which is significantly thicker. There is a drain hole but it's very small.

Finally got around to finishing this build. I wanted to keep the control box as low profile as possible and I feel that I've accomplished that:) Everything went together as planned thanks to this forum. Now I just need to find a way to get the probe and heater wire into the freezer. I feel...

I'm drinking DubbelDachs recipe for watermelon wheat.
