I struggled with identifying the ingredient (welcome or unwelcome) that was contributing to an off flavor in the aftertaste. I described it as sort of a "green" flavor that never mellowed out. After about 5 batches I abandoned the yeast I was using for a different brand, the flavor has gone...

If it's a "made for brewing" plastic carboy, then I doubt there's any harmful chems in it. Does it smell bad? The only thing I can think of is that it might have compromised it's ability to keep oxygen out, but if you just use it for a primary and transfer it to something else for secondary, I...

If your going to just brew one beer at a time (not start another until you've bottled the current one), then I think a single glass carboy is fine. If you wish to apply secondary fermentation to your recipe, just siphon it out into a sanitized bucket, clean your carboy out, and siphon it back...

How about the Avery Demon series? They certainly qualify for this category. I am especially partial to the Grand Cru Ale known as "The Beast", reminds me of a well aged mead.

Hey mdwmonster, I'm in Missouri also, and I have to agree with you on the Schlafly and Sam Adams. I never buy store bought anymore but if I do, it's always SA or Schlafly. I have to give Schlafly some props on the Oatmeal stout and the APA. I've scrubbed a lot of bottles and nothing has come...
