It took me over 10 batches to finally brew a session beer. It was a simple pale that went incredibly smooth, much to my enjoyment. However, I've noticed that the smell coming from it in the primary is much like the Tripel that had just previously been transferred from the same equipment. I cleaned and sanitized the blowoff tube and bottle as normal and even pitched a healthy starter of American Ale yeast into the fermenter. Still, it smells like the Trappist yeast.
Could residual WLP500 really overcome an appropriate pitch of American Ale? Or, could the smell of the Trappist really be that prominent that it is masking the American Ale smell?
