Hello all,
I have had an off flavor occur in multiple batches and I am trying to get to the bottom of it.
To me it tastes mediciney but my wife says it is just bitter. I thought it could be StarSan left in my fermenter but after searching the forums it seems starsan shouldn't do this. I use tap and thought it could be the chlorine/cholormines but I use Campden tabs (500mg per 20 gal).
I ferment under pressure of about 5 psi at room temp (73-76 degrees) using bry-97 in stainless kegs and I thought it could have been fementation temperature but I also have batches of the same recipe that turn out fine as well under the same conditions and I have had the same issue when using s-05.
Anyway I am stumped and would appreciate any input or better if there is a taster in the st pete area willing to give a sip and attempt to identify that would be even better.
Thanks.
