I have a consistent and possible infection issue going on... the smell is like a German wheat beer. Hard to describe otherwise, perhaps 'estery' but not in a good way.
The first beer this occurred was with a Kolsch using Wyeast 2565 (starter made). Very odd flavor, this was bottled, partial mash.
The next beer I made was a ESB, kegged, no off flavor, was amazing, extract kit.
Today's issue is with a starter for a Bavarian Dunkel. It smells like the kolsch, a weird, wheat beer type smell. I used the same DME for both the Kolch and this starter. The DME I am using is kind of old, but has been in vacuum packaging.
Any and all help is appreciated!! Thanks.
