So lately all of my beers have the same slight off flavor. I can't quite put my finger on it, but they all finish a little slick and almost overly bready. I've made sure that I pay close attention to my sanitation and i have a temp controlled chest freezer for fermentation. Anyone ever experienced this?
my two theories are that:
1. I am under pitching. Out of my last 3 batches, 2 of them I pitched US-05 straight in the fermentor, the other I made a starter that was on the small side.
2. Something in my chest freezer in contaminating them. The bottom of my chest freezer is constantly getting slightly moldy (little dark green dots)
Thanks all.
