I have brewed 3 different NB extract kits so far, the first two with my tap water which honestly is a bit on the hard side and the last one with spring water from the local walmart. and it seems all 3 have the same mineral-ish spritzy after taste (tastes almost exactly like soda water, like when you get a fountain drink and it's out of syrup). i use an aluminum pot but i boiled it before i used it and i don't use abrasive cleaners. the kits were fresh from the NB website and they are all different kits. i am officially out of ideas. i don't mind the taste much but i'd say about half of the people who try my beers so far find it undrinkable, and the other half doesn't notice or doesn't care. i am very discouraged and honestly this is making me wonder if maybe i just am not meant to be a brewer
any help or idea's would be appreciated. (i tried to find other threads about this but i haven't seen a mineral one, only metallic and i wouldn't call it a metal taste.)
