Does anyone else get a plastic tasting beer when using Wyeast?
I've only brewed about a half dozen batches with Wyeast, and about 5 of them have had a plastic taste (some worse than others), when I switch back to a dry yeast I have no problem. I don't use any plastic components. Just brewed a batch yesterday, and I can already smell it from the air lock. I have other batches that I let sit for 6 monthes after bottling and still can taste it.
Is this just a bad product?? after happening this many times, I ruled out that it was just a bad batch of yeast.
I have used several types of Wyeast, ferment at 66-70F.
