Have just noticed a burnt flavour in latest batch - slight hint of tar which is none too pleasant. I have a direct fired kettle using two large gas burners. It appears that one has moved and has carbonised the wort in the exhaust of the kettle. There is a lot of burnt sugar on the outfall, which is affecting the taste.
I was going to do a caustic boil tomorrow anyway as part of the regular cleaning/maintenance. Any ideas as to what would be best to get rid of this residue? I can get into the bottom of kettle and attack some of it manually, but there will inevitably be some parts that i cannot reach.
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Cheers
