My first few all grains have an "off" taste and smell.While purging the air coming out of the relief valve it has a cider/vinegar smell.Definetly not a awesome homebrew smell.Ive been drinking it with the "we're gunna have a good time no matter what" attitude.Its been giving me a bit of a headache.I just killed the keg.I shut off gas and opened the tap into a glass to empty the pressure.The smell coming out of the tap was enough to set you back.Again,smells like straight vinegar with some cider mixed in.I actually stuck my nose in the glass while it was spitting foam and had to pull away.This is what Ive been drinking.My wife says it tastes like old gym socks.My next batch smells the same in the ferm bucket.
What can/should I do?
Ive been doing my best to sanitize.I even have the micromatic tank that hooks up to the keg to to sanitize the lines
