Stop by, have a pint and tell me what is wrong! most people seem to think its a sanitation issue. If not, could it ageing temp? Something else

So it seems most folks thinkits not aging temp. but infection at botteling that takes a few weeks to show itself. Before many people suggested water, which I changed and it seemed to solve the problem, at least for the first 10 days. So water was not the issue? Still sanitation?

no one thinks its aging temp?

I just posted my process. Having computer issues. Assume bacteria in some part of bottling. This would effect Every Bottle in 7 consective batches?

there is no ring in the bottles. I sanatize by mixing 3 gallons of Iodophor in my bottelingbucket. I submurge and fill all botttles 6 or so at a tiem and leave them in the solution for 1 to 3 minutes, empty tehbottles back inot the buck and repeat until I have 55 bottles. I run some solution...

It's not over carbed, and head retention is good. I use a pre messured corn sugar from Midwest Supply, I think 5 oz. If it was sanitation in botteling, like a spigot or tube, would not some bottles be okay, would it infect all of them, and would it show all at the same time, that is 10 days...

Some folks have liked my beer but I don't know why. All recepies taste the same, smell the same. This one was good for 10 days the developed the same astreigent off sour flavor. Most people on this site think its sanitation. I think I sanatize well, but have shnaged all ingredients including...

it seems most folks agree the issue is sanitation, not aging temp. It just seemed that with 10 good days in the bottle it was something else. All my other beers with the same bad taste tasted bad right off.

what is KISS? Even thought the beer was great for 10 days, sanitation is still the assumed problem?

sorry I sent that by mistake. I use imported water to brew and thought I'd solved the problem. I use tap water to clean and sanatize whichI think is high in clorine and lime. Are you saying you think its the water I sanatize with and I should use filtered water for that? If so, why did the beer...

I clean and sanatize with tap water, which I thnik does have a high lme content and likely hight clorine. I live on essentially a rock made of old coral. The local botteled and filtered drinking water, as well as the local OR water I had used to brew but this last two batches I used all imported...

hard to say, none of the above. astrigent maybe the best discription, like licking a tea bag? Not rust

I have cleaned with dish soap after brewing and botteling. At brewing and then botteling I use the Iodophor. At botteling I soak everything in about 3 gals of it, bottels and all, run it through the tubes and spigot, submerge the bottles and all. The bad taste is like sour / bitter but NOT...

I am fermenting in mid to upper 60s. The temperature issue is after its in a bottle. Yes, I'm very frustrated and do appreciate your advice and that of others When you say you had the same issue, was your beer good right at bottling and for a few weeks and then it went sour? I do now soak...

Iodophor, yes. I clean with soap and water, pump soapy water and the iodophor through the tubing. But if its sanitation, would it taste good for a few weeks and then go bad?

Wouldn't sanitation show up eariler? If its heat, do I need to keep it cool until drunk?

I really think I'm cleaning well. I fill and submirge bottels in isophor, kep the caps in a bowl of the stuff as I put the caps on, so tehyare still wet. At 3 weeks it was wonderful, a few days later it is crap. Just that fast. I had about 10 good ones, then had 5 in one day, jsut go tin a panic...

at 3 weeks it was wonderful, a few days later it is crap. Just that fast. I had about 10 good ones, then had 5 in one day, jsut go tin a panic and opened thm hoping it was one bad bottel, but nope, all taste like crap, don't smell good, and I think are darker but am not sure.

at bottling the beer tasted good, very good. Three days later was good, and for the next few weeks great. It mellowed and was great. I used cascade hops and the aroma was great and strong, the after bit very nice like a smooth aromatic IPA. I mean other than one particular beer at a brew pub in...
