Off Flavor that goes away in 30-40 minutes

So i was all set to get distilled water , and drank 1 last beer and it tasted much better. took it into the LHBS and everyone there liked the beer .

and i did some taste testing of my water source and the RV hose leaves a hose taste.

i went ahead and just got an RV hose filter , cheapy for $10 and did a water taste test , hose, filtered hose and sink. the filtered hose water was not discernible from the tap so i went ahead and just brewed with filtered hose .

I am taste testing that very batch and tastes GREAT i'm very happy with this 2nd batch (although the gravity is only down to a 1.020 ) but at least the flavor is there

thanks for the advice.

I may still do a distilled taste test at some point.

Glad you found a solution! Hopefully no problems arise after carbonation -- that's most often when I see those pesky off-flavors come out. I really hope that the filter fixed the problem!

Really weird how a beer can taste great coming out of primary but end up with off flavors after carbination..

hopefully that doesn't happen this time around.
