Baked bottles smell funny

[Jack_Frost]

I did two loads of bottles in the oven. The first were fine but the second smell very strange. Kind of burn papery smell, then I notices a postage stamp sized piece stuck to the bottom of one of the bottles. It must have stuck on with moisture and I didnt notice.

The real problem was that I did not notice until after bottling.

The age old question, have I ruined my beer. Has anyone else had similar

If it does lend a taste to your beer (and I really doubt it), just tell everyine that you spent weeks researching the finest smoked malts, calculating the percentaces, sampling and generally sweating in order to arrive at the superior brew now being drank.

I did put foil over the ends of the bottles. The foil does not smell, just the inside of the bottle. I have a gas oven so quite cheep to run. I live on a boat so only have the water stored in the tank. I wanted to reduce the amount of water needed.

Very strange really. I will have to hope the taste if there is any is smokey

I have learnt my lesson and will buy some starsan stuff. Any good online links for this?

Is it possible that some of the bottles were not quite perfectly clean before you put them in the oven?

[Jack_Frost]

I guess it could be possible, however the oven was not spotless either.

This is making me seem like a disgusting oik

I dont know why this made all of the bottles smell, they were after all wrapped tightly in foil.

Where does the charcoal at the bottom of my oven come from? I swear I have never had a BBQ in there.

The charcoal comes from the socks that the washing machine steals from you,the WM gives them to the oven to get rid of the evidence

don't worry - I wouldn't put bottles in my oven, I wasn't to keen to even put food in my previous oven

You must have got through that shed full of rice you had Chris if you've had to resort to using the oven
