I have been brewing the booch for a few years now. I have my process down pretty well, and I finally got the flavoring down. Go me.
Yesterday I popped the top on my fermenter and the batch I just made smelled really off. The closest thing I can relate it to is old wet, rusty metal. Also, my 3.5 SS BrewBusket ended up having a strange hazy discoloration when i drained it.
Has anyone ever experienced this, or seen a thread talking about it? My best guess is that I did not passivate the steel well enough, and the acidity of the booch oxidized it, subsequently creating the odor.
