Good day to you.
can i have some forum help please.
I keep killing my beer . I seem to be getting a Plaster ( that you stick on a cut) medicinal smell and taste. ive manage to ruin a dark brown ale. Kolsch ( this one alot more than the rest) and a creamsoda ale experiment. its really beginning to drive me insane. ive literally had to ditch 100s of liters ( yes hundreds!) of beer because it has taken on this medicinal taste. Even my brother , who would drink the spirit out of a spirit level , wont drink it. i get the same taste if im using my grainfather or if im using my 60l kit.
in how to brew by john Palmer it states " chlorophenols are a result from a reaction involving chlorine- based sanitisers( bleach) and phenol compounds" and not rinsing them off properly after usage. so it indicates that im clean but not rinsing. i use Sodium per carbonate and boiling water then chemsan and rinse with boiling water. so they arnt exactly as above.
this is my routine. please question each of these.
i have brew builder stainless fermenters. all have two ball valves. i fill with with sodium percarbonate and boiling water then connect to a pump and cip ball. so it recirculates the cleaner. after this i strip down and disassemble the ball valves. clean out any lumps i might find. i then clean off any items that may still be in the fermemter. i then re build it and reapply the pump and the cip kit. i then add 20l of boiling water and the relevant amount of chemsan. i then leave to circulate again. next i drain this out . i connect a boiling water feed to my cip. i remove the pump and open the valves. then blast it through with boiling water so bioling water is passed seperatly through both valves. i also make a point of opening and closing the valves so that they clean all of the faces with in it. on the top of the fermentor i have a 1.5" tc with a corney post. this is stripped and boiled. then i use corny post blow off pipe in to a conical flast with water and chemsan in it. these are also sanitised after and before every usage.
next i removed the tilts i have and replaced all of the rubber gaskets. they get a good soak in chemsan and wiping over.
grainfather / 60l pot. before i use these i fill with boiling water then pump around the system. opening and closing valves again to make sure the boiling water touches all faces.
after i have used these. i use a hose to flush out all the chunks. i scrape any burnt on items off the bottom. i fill with water and sodium percarbonate boil it and cip . ( i had a lid for this made for the grainfather) once boiled i pump out the boiled water and flow clean water through it. to blast out any final undesirables that may be in it.
i pour boiling water into and all over a conical flask. this i then add some cooled boiled water and start my yeast.
I dont beleive this is temp control as im with in the specified boundarys.
all of my pumps get stripped down and cleaned. then i pump boiled water around the system to clean all of the pipes.
i have done some brews however that made it through and were absolutely fine. yet i did every thing as above!
Help me obi wan your my only hope
