Just kegged an Allagash White Clone with a recipe I hadn't used before and the first taste was straight band aid....both taste and smell....really can't even drink it.
I've been reading a ton and trying to source the issue and have landed on perhaps too much chlorine in my water. I haven't historically treated my water at all. I am worried though that the water may not be the issue because I haven't had this same off flavor before.
Just curious to get any thoughts. I've included a few specifics below:
6 Gallon Brew in a Bag....no sparge
5.5 lbs Pilsner
2.5 lbs White Wheat
2.5 lbs Red Wheat
0.5 lbs Cara-Pils
0.5 lbs Flaked Oats
60 minute mash time
.5 oz Pearle - 60 Minutes
.5 oz Saaz - 20 Minutes
Wyeast 3944
Corriander, Orange Peel (Bitter) and Ginger - all added at Flame Out
Any help would be awesome...love this beer and would love 5 gallons sitting in a keg.
