My second batch ever is Northern Brewer's Petite Saison. I tasted a sample tonight after 9 days when I took a hydrometer reading, and it had a distinct taste of soap. Sampled a second time within the hour, with the same results. Should I dump it, or will time heal all wounds and get rid of soapy taste? Should I move to secondary? Why would this happen? This is Wyeast 3711, and I used my original plastic brewing bucket that I used with my first batch.
Do you need the hydrometer reading? It was close to water--1.005.
