So my last two batches have turned out pretty crappy. They've both had an off flavor that leads me to believe that it's either got a bacterial infection or too much oxidation. After the first one I changed out all my tubing with new stuff soaked all my equipment first in oxyclean for 24 hours, rinsed the hell out of it and then soaked with iodophor for a couple hours and then let dry completely. They were both A/G recipes and were both served on tap. I also got new beer lines and tried the second one on a different tap/shank. Any suggestions as to what I could do for either problem. While fermenting nothing looked out of the ordinary they both sat in primary for a month then straight to keg for two weeks before the first pour. The first one got a little better over the course of a month, but this second one (which I just tapped for the first time yesterday) seems to be even worse than the second. The first batch was a bud light clone (I know....for shame!) and the second was Biermunchers Centennial Blonde both brewed to specs. WTF?
