Grimsbyman Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hi. I have had a couple of batches of beer with a burnt taste to it! I’m using a fermenting barrel and initially thought it was somewhat contaminated but I sterilize throughly! And rinse the hell out of all my equipment, wandering whether anyone has had a similar problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not had that, unless I have overdone the Roasted Malt addition. Your process might be part of the issue. You sterilise and then rinse. A lot of brewers use no-rinse sanitisers. Maybe that might make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Need more information. What type of beers? What ingredients? What processes used to brew it? It usually occurs because the malt/wort got burnt during the boil. Never heard of it being caused by contamination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
