So I bottled my latest batch tonight which is a rye pale ale. I have never used rye, but figured I would like it based on Sierra Nevada ruthless rye. I used the bravo hop that I was told they use and wyeast. That last part was new to me as I have used pretty much dry yeast exclusively in the past. I have used wyeast one other time and another liquid that I forget the name of right now. Getting on with the question.
When I pulled the lid off my bucket I found a small plastic bag floating. I have never seen it before, and am certain it isn't from hops or Irish moss. Is it possibly the inner pack from the smack pack? My beer tastes a little off, and I can't think of any other reason it would be since the rest of my process is all pretty sound. At the same time I would think that the plastic being inside the smack pack would be sanitized. What say you? Is the rye a different flavor than I expected?
