Ok, so I can't figure out what's going on here. I tasted a sample of both my beers fermenting and it tasted great. I bottled it with corn sugar for priming, and every time I do it I get the same vanilla-y meets boozy meets slightly musty/cardboardy aroma (and a little in the flavor). I don't know what it is. Its not unbearable, but its not great. Any idea if it could be the corn sugar? Cuz I don't know what else it could be. Any ideas??
As a note, The beer had very limited exposure to oxygen after I pulled the sample so I don't think its that.
I also havent dabbled in water chemistry, so heres my local water report (see below). Ive read about people adding gypsum to their brewing water, based on my water report could that have helped? (I did use a more beer 10" water filter)
