Hi all...I have a question on the plastic after taste that I have found to trouble some brewers like myself in the finished product. I have found that it can be due to chloramine in my tap water. I use spring water to actually brew with but I do clean and sanitize with my tap water which I found has 3.2 for the water report value for chloramine. I have also seen camp seen tablets as a good way to fix this issue but most post reference their use in the actual brewing water...so my question is even though I use spring water to brew would the use of my tap water to clean and sanitize possibly allow for the taste? I use star San to sanitize and pbw to clean. Also to add, this really seems to come through with beer that calls for spice additions at flameout. I thought maybe it was because I use spices in the pantry..so really not considered fresh but not sure. Anyway..I think I have provided about all I can think of that may be a factor but if there is something else to consider I'm all ears. Thanks.
