    First brew funk

    Is the flavor more like a band aid taste? If so it might be your water profile. Often times if you use city water it will contain chloramine. This is a water treatment that the city will use. It can cause a rubbery or chemical taste much like a band aid. We have a couple solutions for this. It...
