I think I have a keg issue. I brewed an IPA and put it's been in the keg about 10 days. The first couple of days, the beer was GREAT, I was really excited to have 5 gallons of it, now I'm afraid something with my keg/CO2 has ruined my batch.
The flavor is very metallic and leaves the tongue very dry. But this only occurred within the last few days, so I know it isn't an issue in my brew day process.
Some people say carbonic acid will cause this, but I left a glass out and swirled it around until I got a lot of the CO2 out, and the metallic dryness was still there.
I had read someone mentioned they got this flavor when they were nearing the end of their CO2 bottle, and mine is about empty. I have a hard time understanding how that could be a cause though.
Maybe there is rust in my keg? Anyone else have a great beer turn metallic in their keg?
