Plastic container you're brewing in ?

You may be unable to get rid of the flavour for future batches, then.

It happened back in 98 or 99 to british family brewers Batemans, who
released a strawberry bitter, and then had to have the beer lines of the
pubs who had served it changed, because the flavour had impregnated the
plastic and was bleeding back into the beer passing through the line.
The core of the problem being that strawberry flavour is something so
pungent that a human palate detects it even at trace level.

Cheers !
