I have made several changes at the same time and am curious if anyone can lead me to which one was the most important change.
I in the last three batches went from partial mash to all grain, started using campden tablets, and changed out my hoses and one of my primaries from bucket to better bottle.
The initial problem presented itself when I moved my rv to a new site (btw: one of the hardest parts of being a "rv" brewer). It is an odd chemical type flavor in the beer. I noticed a similar taste when I leave a cup of water on the nightstand overnight. It has been present in the beer only. I have made a batch of apfelwein that seemed unaffected.
The information led me to believe that it was chlorimines, but I also made the other changes at the same time so I am not sure the campden tablets where the real solution. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
