Hi all,
I brewed up an all grain Irish Red from NB. (here http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/irish-red-ale-all-grain-kit.html)
I fermented it in my food grade plastic fermenter bucket that I have never had a problem with. (same as this http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewi...ipment/buckets/7-9-gal-fermenting-bucket.html)
I fermented at 67 degrees.
The beer has harsh plastic taste. Kinda like plastic, with a HINT of bitterness that you would get from soap.
When I cleaned the carboy I soaked it in Oxyclean for an hour and then rinsed a couple times. Then let it soak in Sani-Clean.
This is what I do for all my fermenters. (I have one glass, and one BB as well)
I know its hard to understand with the simple description of Plastic, but I have looked at the BJCP page about off flavors. None really seem to be it.
What do you guys think could have been the problem? I'm worried about re using this fermenter for my next batch.
Thanks!
