I have been fermenting in a consistent 59F basement and getting a really bad plastic smell in several of my beers - all english and american yeasts.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Better Bottles insulate more than glass, making ferm temps higher than we expect. I have considered Chloramine, also.
I have a small experiment running right now. I'll update.
