Dang it. I brewed what I thought was a fine old ale, tasting during kegging time reveled nothing awry. I followed the same kegging procedure (including the same concentration of caustic cleaner) with my Mini King as I have for the past 100+ bbls of beer.
Issue: I just tasted samples from several kegs, and the product has a quite pronounced dishwashing liquid aroma. Various people can taste it to some degree, but everyone can for sure smell it.
Any ideas? Does and old ale go through a stage where it might have a soapy tasting/aroma characteristic?
I'm pretty close to deciding to dump the lot, but wanted to see if anyone had some input on whether I should stand on it for awhile to see if it improves, or at what point in my process I might be on the lookout for something that might have caused this.
thanks,
Rob
