Another thread got me thinking about what's giving a "wet cardboard" taste in my beers. I've ruled out just about everything but someone mentioned hot wort aeration. I did some reading and found this chapter in John Palmer's book. http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter6-9-3.html
Question is.. Can HWA occur while boiling? Is too much aggressive string during boil able to cause this? How about directly after boil?
My process so far (and its been the same for all 4 of my extract brews) has been to remove my 5 gal from the boil and immediate start the wort chiller while whir-pooling pretty aggressively.
