There are a lot of us on this forum who just can't brew a good hoppy IPA. (and sometimes it happens with low hop styles too) We try RO water, control the ph, change equipment, skip the sparging, build water profiles etc. and still cant make a beer without that astringent, strange bitter after taste.
It is even happening on different continents.
We make a thread about it, try the suggestions and then most of the threads get abandoned because of no results.
In my case (and in a lot of other cases too) the off taste shows up after bottle carbing.
I just cant get over the fact that we cant solve this issue so i gonna try some esoteric approaches.
If anyone wants to check out these threads i can collect a lot of them, i have them bookmarked etc.
So now i want to try some more obscure stuff.
Is it possible that i have leftover chlorine/chloramine in the water i use to sanitize and it still affects my beer in this miniscule amount? (my tapwater definitely contains chlorine or chloramine)
Can i drop campden into my star-san solution?
