Did it taste like dirty, musty basement floor?
I'm so glad I'm reading this thread. I was about to bottle a beer in which I used Fuggles as a substiute for Styrian Goldings. When I started raking it this morning I tasted this off taste and thought the beer might be infected. I read this thead during the day and now I can't positively say that the beer is not infected but rather has that dirty , musty taste.
I'm relieved but disapointed at the same time. I almost threw it away this morning. I guess I will bottle it now.
