Hi all, last few 5 gal batches of ale (all with US-05 and at 65F outside surface of bucket) have picked up the same off flavor (I'd call it a skunkiness, although it doesn't have that polecat smell I've read about). I'm not a total newb and have brewed some good beer, and I think I'm getting the cleaning (oxyclean) and sanitation (star-san) right.
At some point, do you give up on an HDPE fermentation bucket, as in it's hanging on to bacteria I can't shake?
Thanks.
