I think post #24 may answer your question. I'm not %100 sure it is tannin, but it's definately not bitterness. I don't know how better to describe it.

Tannin DOESN'T taste like anything...you are correct. It's a mouthfeel, not a flavor. Every time I hear someone refer to it as a flavor I want to scream.

Agreed. I think this point was made a while back. That's why I avoided using the term flavor in my last post. I would change the title of the entire thread if I could, but I don't know if that is even possible.
Don't worry about me....I'm just OCD like that!
When do we get to hear about the results? Ive been using RO for a year now and I think I understand what your describing, I just think. I've been noticing the same constant mouthful in each of my beers since January. At first I believed it to be a sanitation problem now Im wondering if its my RO water. I think ill be reading a little bit more on water treatment on RO.

Post 37 summs up the results so far on my batch with 50% RO and 50% Tap water. I seem to be detecting some slight improvement. I have bewed with this process change a few times and am waiting to see if the other batches also show improvement. Additionally, I want to see how it changes as it ages. I'll update again when I have more conclusive results.
