So I got an off flavor in my first AG batch - kind of medicinally and flat tasting. Brewed 2 weeks ago and racked to the secondary yesterday. Sanitized with iodine and rinsed everything off well with hot water. Did have a little krausen come through the airlock at the beginning as well. I also noticed that in my cooler MLT - one of my hose clamps on the braided line was oxidized - thought I bought all stainless - I guess not. Could the oxidation of the clamp cause the flavor? Any suggestions?
Here's the recipe:
5 lb domestic 2 row
3 lb domestic pale
1.5 lb 12 l crystal
0.5 lb cararoma
don't rember the amount of hops but I used northern brewer and strisselspalt.
pitched s-04 whitbread
added 1/2 lb dark candi syrup due to only 50% efficiency in the mash.
