so Ive a had a couple of not bad but odd tasting batches, made alot of changes to my equipment and cleaning everything, changed elements, switched out hoses with new silicone, so today I opened my keezer and an awful smell filled the room and I was pretty sure it was beer stink from the bottom of the keezer.
then I realized I had a huge trash bag of different hops in that keezer and some baggies had popped open. after closer inspection the smell was coming from the hop bags,
now im getting that ahha feeling in my head thats the same off taste in my beer,,,,,so losing about 4 pounds of hops today, all going in the trash and repackaging never opened sealed hops and now putting them in my deep freezer,
the lesson and Off flavor of the week is never store hops in your keezer
