soapy taste

Oct 27, 2005 1 Replies

Hi, I have been making wine from kits ( cellarmaster) for a couple years and have noticed I often get a soapy taste in my finished product. I use TSP to clean the fermentor and carboy ( plastic) and metasulphite to sanitize all equipment. I make sure to rinse all equipment with cold tap water after sanitizing. I rack off the wine several times to get rid of sediment ( I thought that was the culprit) but still get a soapy taste. Any thoughts on what is going wrong?


Ethyl Laurate maybe?

Have you been using the same strain of yeast on all of these wine?
