I have some beer fermenting and I took a gravity sample on Wednesday, had a little taste and it was as expected. Then I added dry-hops. Tested gravity again yesterday and when I tried a little sip it was very medicinal.
I've done a search but didn't get my exact questions answered so I'm making this post.
If this is an issue from my mash or sparge, would it have taken until the end of fermentation to show up?
It seems likely that it picked something up from the dry hop but turning this bad overnight seems quick to me. Is it possible to be infected that quickly?
Depending on the reason, I've heard of people storing the beer for a bit and the off flavor diminishing. I keg all of my beer so would I have to keg and keep it warm for this to work or will the flavor diminish even in cold temperatures if at all?
