Ok, guru guys here's something thats driving me crazy. Last 5 gal batch of HB was inconsistent from bottle to bottle.
I am not knowledgeable enough to described the difference other than to say, one bottle was fine the next tasted like shit (not skunked). This from the same fermentor.
I have considered the following, priming sugar (I used malt) not evenly destributed, poor capping, poor sanitation. I really don't think the latter is the problem, but maybe. My bottles are rinsed clean after use, and get the Iodophor treatment before reuse. All my brewing, bottling, (including caps) equipment get the treatment.
Does this ring any bells? Brew on brother!
