I have recently been reading a few of the longer threads about extract twang. I have notices a certain twang that becomes more apparent after sitting in a bottle for more than a couple of weeks. With big beers (my imperial stout and imperial ipas didnt have this flavor) I don't notice it at all. Its with my peach kolsch, my amber and a my porter where I got it the most. It has been subtle in my Bavarian Wheat. When kegged or tasted straight out of the fermenter it doesn't have this taste, or if it is really green (in a bottle), you can kinda notice it, but after 3-4 weeks it is the same kind of flavor apparent in almost every one that I have bottled. (not in my raspberry kolsch though, a very light beer). I primarily use LME from Northern Brewer.
I wash and rinse all my bottles, but sanitize out of my dishwasher, its not a very noticeable flavor in some, but more pronounced in others.
Is this off flavor I am tasting a product of my bottle sanitation method? I have only had 2 batches in keg, and neither had this flavor. I have done 90 gallons of beer within the past year and about 60 have had some sort of off flavor to it. I have only ever done 1 beer all DME. I have not tasted it yet (i think the 12 oz's of hops will overpower it anyway)
