So, I have searched, and haven't seen anything conclusive yet
every batch so far has had a metallic taste other than the graff.
every batch has been kegged, torn down, and cleaned with pbw, rinsed, and sanitized with starsan.
first 2 were true brew kits, with cans. one used idophor, the other starsan
3rd was cider
4th was two hearted clone partial mash with dme, and starsan.
the carbing was done @ 10 lbs @ 34 degrees, which is probably high
with the 4th, i didn't notice the metallic taste while carbing on Friday (i drank it a little flat), in fact it was pretty good. but Saturday i went for a bike ride with a friend, we came back, and it was a completely different beast. it was metallic and sweet, and the dry hopping aroma was completely dormant. i tryed venting it off to take some carbonation out, but it seems to still have the same metallic taste.
i am about to keg or bottle the 5th, first using filtered water, partial mash w/dme. but hope to have something else to try before i have to drink another batch of the metallic stuff.
