I tried everything. Bottled water, boil all of the water, bleach, scrubbing, doing it outside, dry yeast, oxiclean, starsan etc. and still getting bad beer. At least it's getting better. It is now just sour and tastes like citer but have lost the bandaid taste and the color is right.
Question is that I am about to start a batch of Kolsh and I want to know if anyone has any last minute suggestions. Here is my process.
I have tasted the starter and it is good. The glass carboy is soaking in bleach right now and was scrubbed beyond what is insanely reasonable. I plan on doing this one outside with bottled water. This time I am not going to use a starsan rinse on the carboy but a rinse with bottled water. I put the emersion chiller in 15 minutes before the end. Chill tales about 10 minutes then I will aerate for 30 min. with an aquarium pump and a filter, pitch, and pour into carboy with a plastic funnel which lives in starsan.
