I sampled a bottle 10 days after bottling, it was still fairly flat but tasted fine. I then sampled another bottle 4 days later which had much better carbonation but a strong soapy taste. I've sampled another bottle since then and it had the soapy taste.
I don't have my notes in front of me but I don't believe the beer was on the trub for more than 10 days. Would siphoning too much trub into the secondary be just as bad as leaving it too long in the primary?
I'd lean towards bottling procedure, as well. Has anybody else tasted these and confirmed the flavor? Did you sanitize your bottles in the dishwasher? I frequently do sanitize in the dishwasher, but I'm wondering if there might have been some residual soap in there that might have gotten on some of your bottles and not rinsed out.Walker-san said:...(as opposed to soap in your glass or perhaps in *some* of the bottles you used)...
