Ooooohhhhh, the humanity! I just had to dump my first 5 gallon batch because of the metalic taste the ball bearings I used for dry hopping released into my beer. Unsure if it was the fact that these were from a used bearing or not, but they went in shiney and clean and came out of the beer a dark color and the beer tasted and even looked gnarly. Extent of damage may not be fully realized yet as this was done in a Better Bottle so I'm hoping the plastic doesn't absorb that taste...
Let these 5 gallons forever be martyred in the quest for great beer...
