I have switched away from tap water and the gallon jugs of water and went to the 5 gal supermarket RO water jugs for everything (brewing and sanatizing) and mine went away. I have since switched to AG brewing with two stouts an amber lager and 3 IPA'S now without a hitch! Taste your brewing water and see if it's there from the beginning, might not be you at all!
 
Alright - good to know! Water tastes OK right from the tap, but what I'm reading is a lot of the brewing process itself brings out those chlorophenols - sounds like supermarket RO water is my next step!

Congrats on your success! I hope to be there soon as well :)

Cheers,
 
Check out the brewing water sticky in the science part of the forum for AG with RO or distilled water. Good luck and brew on!!
