Hey everybody,
I have been struggling with a "plasticy" taste in my beers lately. Its most noticeable in lagers. I have been researching chloramines and found out that the city of Raleigh loves to use chloramines in the water.
Test: Tomorrow I will be brewing 10gal of blonde ale with Nottingham yeast; very light grain bill with nowhere to hide! I put 1 campden tablet into my water and let it sit in my rig overnight. I have found that drawing the water the night before and letting it sit helps to remove the chlorine taste. I will let you guys know how this turns out. I REALLY want this taste gone!
Have you guys every used campden tablets?, does my dosage seem correct?
Thanks,
McC
