I'm trying to track down the source of a "plasticky" taste in one of my extract brews. The band-aid burps are a real drag!
The recipe was simple: Amber DME, 40L steeping grains, hops, and Safale-04 yeast.
I crushed whole grain for this batch using a plastic freezer type bag and a rolling pin. I'm noticing that the bag is filled with tiny holes afterward.
Is there a chance a plastic taste, or even tiny bits of plastic could have made it into the wort this way?
Thanks.
