I have one of those nukatap counter pressure bottle fillers that attaches to a faucet on my keggeraror. Bottles are then sanitized and filled with the gizmo from the keg.
I filled a few on Friday night. And on Saturday, it tastes stale already. I assume it's an oxidized flavor. I put a few squirts of CO2 into the bottle, fill it slow, and immediately put an oxygen absorbing cap (for what it's worth). They were filled to what a standard 12oz bottle looks like it should be at.
Anyone have any suggestions as to why it immediately tasted stale? What I can do differently to fix this?
I think the whole "you can purge the bottle before you fill" is a gimmick since you really can't do that, especially when you need to remove the bottle and cap it...
