... and at the time figured maybe it will be OK since lager yeast is supposed to be very clean and not produce a lot of phenols (bound with chlorine turns into chlorophenols yes?). Just tapped up this Pilsner and it has a dominant solventy/rubbery taste to it. Not the beer lines as I just changed to Accuflex Bev-Seal and cleaned and rinsed them today and my amber ale (also tapped today) does not have this problem. Is this because I forgot to add the campden tablet? This was the first time I forgot to add it. Tastes like the very first Coopers extract kit I ever did. Ugh
*Edit - I also used gelatin for both the pilsner and the amber by adding to the fermenters. Again, the amber tastes fine so I don't believe this to be oxidation but who knows. The pilsner did come out crystal clear however.
