Not quite sure how else to explain it. Kind of has a plasticky smell/taste, or maybe astrigent, although I'm not quite sure what that tastes like.
I have used bleach to sanitize in the past, but switched to oxyclean and starsan this batch. I use bottled water and not tap water. Could there still be residual bleach imbedded in the fermenter? It is plastic. I don't know where else the chloriphenols could have come from.
It tastes ok initially, besides the plasticky taste, but has a really harsh finish, almost hurts the back of the throat. You know, like a minute or two later. Anyone else have this issue?
