So, I've brewed a lot of strawberry beers and generally they turn out great, but my last two strawberry beers have had some weird off flavors. I'm getting a plasticky bandaid thing. I think the difference is that these last two batches were with produce section strawberries as oppose to fresh picked or frozen. Maybe my filter isnt filtering out the chlorine as well as usual, but after searching around it seems like this is a common off flavor with strawberries. Anyone know what gives? Why is this so common with strawberries, and why would it start happening after I switch which kind of strawberries I use. This latest batch has only been going for a week, so maybe it's just not ready yet. I dont know.
