#smell

i keep getting this weird funk in my brew water tbh it's like the old cheese vat smell i thought i cleaned it but nope the kettle's got a mind of its own rn tried a quick rinse with hot water and a pinch of bleach (yeah i know) and still that lingering yeasty‑cheesy note anyone else battle this or am i just cursed with bad mineral water? also, i swear the hop pellets stick more when the kettle's dirty, makes the whole batch taste like cardboard lol
