I think I diagnosed my own problem, but its still worth the post.
I put my Hop Rocket in-line on my kegerator for my new IPA. I used 2oz Centennial Leaf hops. The beer had an off taste that I can only describe as "cheesy." I know this taste and smell from hops that are getting too old. I took the Hop Rocket out and voila, taste gone. So, I am 99% certain the hops were older than I thought.
Other reasons may be there was an infection in the beer, air was being introduced in the beer line because I didnt tighten everything thoroughly, or the Hop Rocket isn't as great as I thought.
Does anyone have any idea/ thoughts/ confirmations?
Thanks!
