I'm seriously starting to get pissed and discouraged here. I'm a diligent cleaner/sanitizer so I'm convinced this isn't a contamination thing.
4 of my last 7 beers have come out with a solvent/nail polish taste to them. They were 2 pretty big english ales, an oatmeal stout, and a porter. One of them is so bad I can't drink it, and the rest aren't super awful but I can taste it.
I know it's not from bad fermentation temperatures either because I'm crazy about monitoring it.
What could this be?? It hasn't happened in any of my recent "lighter brews" which were a pale ale, an apricot ale, and it didn't happen with my scotch ale.
Please help. For awhile I was making great beer and now they are turning out with this consistent weird taste. Thanks
