I brewed up the Strawberry Alarmclock wheat beer in the recipe section a month ago. I just tasted the FG hydrometer sample and it tastes awful. It has a very strong medicine/plastic taste. Id say its undrinkable. Im going to sit on it for 2 or 3 months and see what happens but in the meantime Id like to pinpoint the problem. My guess is that I got a wild yeast contamination from adding the strawberries to the secondary. The day I brewed I washed, halved, and froze the berries. I added them to a secondary and racked, once fermentation was done. When I racked off of the berries, there was no clear sign of anything out of the ordinary. The berries looked pretty good, the beer was crystal clear. Id say it definitely has a phenolic/plastic taste. So Im wondering if there is something other than a wild yeast that could be to blame. Im very confident that my sanitation is sound. Also, Im somewhat considering getting a microscope to try and confirm the wild yeast theory. Does anyone know where I could find one locally? As in, who the hell sells used microscopes, other than online?
