Metallic
« on: April 27, 2018, 12:21:45 pm »
Does metallic only come from rust or can it be from yeast? I have a keg that has a bit of a penny taste. Not the faucet as I swapped kegs. Yeast was 4th gen Rustic/3726.

Could be water related?

Could be the keg. I had a brand new keg that gave off a bloody lip flavor. I cleaned and repasivated using double strength starsan.

I find it can come from oxidation.
