So I could for my life not understand way my beer is getting worse and worse, first it was subtle but on the last brew I could definitely describe Band-aid /rubber, smell and taste. So it turns out it is due to my lack of sanitation, sort off. So I quickly learned it is hard to infect beer, but that was my problem. In the beginning I use to boil every thing (EVERYTHING) not so later on
..Needed too top-up
do it strait from the tape, rinse equipment
.strait from the tap. But I also think the chlorine level of my tap water changed with time. So did a batch now where I: carbon filtered the water, left it in the sun for two days and treated with peroxide (and then the boil with lid off) (I am having problems with getting nice boil with lid off .....but anyway)
hope this takes care of my chlorine problem!
