Hello!
We are a new brewery and have been putting out some awesome beers(so we are told). We now have five fermenters(our capacity) filled with beer that tastes like plastic. I can’t taste it in any of them but my wife tastes it in every one regardless of style. We use reverse osmosis and build the mineral profile to suit the beer style so I’ve ruled out chlorophenols from chlorine. My other thought is that I’m not cleaning the heat exchanger well enough, which would explain every fermenter being infected but it’s just weird cus I’ve never made a plastic tasting beer in my whole homebrew career. Has anyone experienced anything similar and found out what it was? Thank you very much for any and all help
