Yeah I just pulled another sample and that weird tart flavour I was worried about 3 days ago is nowhere to be found. I think I'm seriously over thinking this.
there was a class at the LHBS a while back where we spiked samples of a Coors Light with different off flavors. really helped to put the taste with the term.I need to get better at identifying off flavours.
I can't get a good seal with the lid, so I basically treat it like a brew bucket instead of a carboy.
I have three Fermonsters that I use regularly. Two seal every time but the third one has been hit or miss. I think the lid on that one might be slightly warped so I doubt a new O ring would help. Though, the problem seems to be happening less frequently the more I use that fermentor. The last two times I used it the seal held.Pretty much what I've been doing. Don't really care if it seals. Just curious if it would be worthwhile to get another O ring. Guessing that wouldn't solve the built-in problem. Thanks!
The book is better.I would like the watch the airlock burble.
