Problem:

Observing a medicinal, phenolic, or plastic flavor in your beer unfortunately implies that it contains chlorophenols which have formed there.

Causes:

• Chlorinated water combines with phenols in the wort to form chlorophenols.
• Chlorine residue from cleaning the brewing equipment combines with phenols in the wort.

Cures:

• Dechlorinate your water supply, boil off the chlorine in the water before use, or buy bottled water.
• Rinse brewing equipment thoroughly before use.
