I'm about to brew my second batch shortly, but I can't seem to get that hop smell out of the brewpot. I have boiled a few gallons of tap water, and they all come out with some kind of condensate on top of the water.(I'm thinking that it is hop break proteins) It looks rather similar to the little islands that you see in black coffee. I have cleaned it with Dawn dish soap. My question is will this affect subsequent batches?
