I just checked the gravity of my trappist style ale. It's dropped from 1.076 to 1.022, and it smells and tastes great, EXCEPT...
I get a slight hint of a soap flavor in it. Now, this comes from my little sample I pulled with my turkey baster, which I had just sanitized with iodine, so it's possible I'm tasting that? On the other hand, doesn't soapy tasty mean that fatty acids are breaking down? I've only had it in primary for eight days, but it was a very vigorous fermentation.
I'm just looking for any advice or explanation. This beer tastes really good other than that one off-taste.
