Hey guys, so this is my 5th brew and i was expecting it to be good based on the results from my previous brews. everything went great on brew day and its been in the carboy for a week now. i took a sample last night to get a gravity reading and its down to 1.010. i drank the sample and it has a strong metallic taste. it pretty much overpowers the beer. What could have caused this? never had this taste in my other beers. i brewed a honey blonde ale. i used 7lbs 2row, .5 lb honey malt, 1 lb flaked wheat and .5 lb caravienna. i also used warrior hops. the only thing i can think of is i pitched what ended up being dead yeast and repitched with wyeast american ale II. could dead yeast give this taste? is there a way to try and fix this while its fermenting? anything i can add to the fermenter?
