Hi Guys
So I seem to have an issue with bottle conditioning.... I made two batches of beer before Christmas (i used campden when brewing) and tasted it before bottling and it tasted great minus the fact it was uncarbonated and needed to mature a little... I bottle conditioned using dextrose and have had it at room temp (a pretty consistent 23 deg) ever since bottling and have been trying them every few weeks.... They are all carbonated nicely but still have an underlying band aid flavour that seems to have come from the bottle conditioning... I don't have anywhere with a higher temp to condition them so Im leaving it for a while longer to see if the flavour will drop out of them over time... is there any way to stop this?.... Now my concern is that I am about to make another couple of batches and obviously dont want to have the same issue. Any help would be much appreciated.
Wondering if I should prime with something else.... maybe DME?
