All right I have done 2 extract and 1 all grain. One extract(belgian) and 1 all grain(pale ale) both have the same bandaid type flavor. I used starsan on everything. The extract did have a long lag time(no starter),about 36 hours. The second bubbling in 8 hours(used starter). The extract i did topup with tap water(unboiled). The allgrain no topup. I am using city water so I am thinking chlorine/chloramine could be a problem.
What do you guys think. I am wanting to do another brew this week. But not sure what todo. I am going to try campden tablets,I think, to combat chlorine.
