Has anyone out there ever had a problem with Iodophor lending an iodine taste to a batch?
My first extract kit bottled was a dunkel. It was brewed with no specialty grains; an all-extract beer in every sense of the word. The guys at the local brew shop suggested the off-taste could be due to a lack of specialty grain additions in the recipe. Upon sampling the finished product, my wife and I both noted that the beer tasted "watery." My father, (a brewer with far more experience than I) tasted it, and after awhile said it reminded him of the taste of iodine. That's when I remembered making the iodophor solution for the first time, spraying down my bottling bucket, and siphoning in the dunkel.
Instructions on sanitizer did not instruct to rinse the solution, so I didn't. Has anyone ever had an experience such as this? I guess I'm asking if the iodophor is the culprit. Suggestions?
