My last 2 beers have both tasted like plastic and have had no malt flavor. The first was an American wheat and the second was a SMaSH Maris otter/Amarillo. Both were fermented in a temp controlled fermenter. Pitched at 65 F and free rise to 68 until completed. Diacetyl rest at 72 then kegged. I do full volume BIAB mash. First beer was brewed 100% tap water charcoal filtered (which I have brewed with before no problem). The second I used roughly half RO half charcoal filtered tap water. I did use the same yeast repitched from a previous pale ale in both batches. I was wondering if bad yeast or maybe over pitching could cause this problem.
