When I last went in to get more CO2 they made me exchange my tank for one that they already had filled - now my beer tastes funny
could there be something wrong with the tank or the CO2 that came from Airgas???
Hmm... I'm not sure what funny tastes like. Could you describe?
I doubt it, rust is a form of oxidation, even when empty the tank still retains enough CO2 to prevent air from entering.what about the tank? it has rust on the outside by the neck, cold the inside be corroded?
Or here is another idea. Get one of those one shot things and try that. It would be less expensive than almost any other option.
I have one of those and while they are good when using to take a keg out somewhere, they are only economical to use for dispensing and not carbonating.
Bottle your next batch, or at least a dozen or so bottles of it, just to make sure it is the kegs/gas. If there are still issues, it could be your water, a contaminated piece of equipment, etc.
Force carbonate some plain water in a very clean, well sanitized keg. If it tastes terrible after carbonating, you've narrowed down the source of your problem.
it could be the water - I live in Missouri and the water here is really alkaline, I have recently switched to brewing with all distilled to see what happens
I've heard that using only distilled water is pretty rough in terms of yeast nutrients. Everything I've heard says to stear clear of Distilled and just get Spring or some other mineral water.
