This article column is specially to answer some common question during beer brewing especially when you do the beer fermentation.You need to consider a lot when you open your brewery like craft brewing tech, 
brewery equipment cost and price,find a location for brewery, license
and regulation of a brewery. Everyone wants their beer to turn out delicious and if your Beer Brew tastes metallic then you are probably pretty frustrated and want to know why. Since this is a fairly common off-flavor, I thought it would be a good idea to learn all the reasons you might have a metal-tasting beer.
Metallic flavors in brewing beer are typically caused by metals contaminating the wort, alkaline brewing water, oxidation during fermentation or bottling, or improperly stored malts, hops, and other ingredients. Using the proper equipment and checking your water report are essential to avoid metallic off-flavors.
While it might seem obvious that you should just avoid potential metal contamination while brewing, the real answer isn’t quite so easy. There are many variables that you will need to control while brewinging your beer and we’re going to take a look at each one more closely!
