Hey Everyone,
Over and over I am getting this distinguished taste that I am trying to eliminate in my beer. I have not been able to narrowed it down.
First, I thought it was a bitter taste from over hopping or to high temps.
Then, I noticed the taste and a little discoloration (multi colors) coming from the head end of the the beer.
I talked to someone at my local supply shop and he believes the sanitizer (starsan) might be leaving a residue due to the foaming because of hard water so I rinsed my pot and carboy heavily before using.
Today, I noticed the foam was kind of multi colored like soap in the wort. A friend said it might be releasing from the stainless steel pot.
Please help, this taste has always been in my beers (drinkable but there) and I have spent a year trying different things to eliminate it.
