I've now bottled several batches of beer. They all seem to have the same flavor when their young in the bottle. Sometimes the 'young' flavor that I taste is in certain beers longer than others. Some beers have taken 6 weeks to rid itself of this flavor.
I've had friends describe it as a Styrofoam sort of flavor. Some beers like the nut brown we were drinking over the weekend doesn't have it, but if I burp I can taste it.
Is this from star san? Is it from my water? I don't think that it's from my water because I had a batch that I used culligan water with and it was still there.
Star san is the only thing that I can possibly attribute this to.
I ferment in an air conditioned house at 70 or less. I bottle age between 70-75 upstairs in our home.
