I have a recurring problem with a bubblegum flavor. It's not every batch.
I've tried to research this and what I read is mostly guesses and hunches.
I have my own theory that differs from most of what I read about fermentation temps and stressed yeast. I'm starting to believe it's a protein problem. Maybe too much trub is making it's way into the fermenter. In order to combat this I've started to incorporate an acid and protein rest in all my brews. I also try to be very careful about leaving as much trub behind as possible. If I bottle carbonate I will get a haze in most of the beers that have this flaw.
Is there anyone out there that knows something to be 100% correct?
