I've been brewing for 10 years and have been really hardcore for the last 3. I have never had a batch with completely off flavors or that was completely off the mark of what I expected.
I have brewed this beer 4 times now. It is very light in color with 2 row, rye, flaked rye and light caramel malt. All NZ hops. Galaxy, pacific jade, Nelson, and moteuka. Fermented with wyeast kolsch year.
So the first 3 batches were awesome and my last gravity sample when I racked to keg was spot on. Now after 1.5 weeks in keg it tastes completely different and totally off the mark. It has almost no aroma and a harsh peppery taste. The best comparison I have is the Brett beer I had a year ago in homebrewing class. I've never used Brett, I followed my normal sanitization practices, no other batches have had this result including the batch racked immediately after this one so as far as equipment is concerned I can track the only individual piece to the keg itself.
Any thoughts?
