Ok,
I have two 5-gal kegs. These are used 'pepsi' kegs from Keg Connection online.
I did off a couple of batches of beer recently, a Czechvar clone, and a 'cream of three crops' batch.
Frankly the Czechvar came out AMAZING! My first lager, and I am hooked.
The Cof3C's I have made before, with good results. But the batch came out with a strong bitter metalic aftertaste. Hard to describe.
So I screwed up? maybe.... but here is the catch- the beer tasted great out of the carboy, dead on. I actually filter my beer, using forced co2 to prevent oxidization, and out of the filter the beer was clean and good.
I was floored when I tasted it carbed because I was expecting good results.
This isn't the first time this has happened. I have had a couple of batches that have gone from 'mmmm mmmm good' out of the carboy to 'WTF' in the keg.
SO........ is there such a thing as a bad keg?
thanks!
