My FV was gifted to me by my dad it had sat unused for 20yrs, it's a 5 gallon bucket with a lid from the boots winemaking section...
When I initially cleaned it it smelled musty and stale as you would expect.
Washed and sterilised there was no real "strong" residual mustiness but tonight when I was bottling my beer I noticed a similar mustiness in my beer and in the FV before and after I washed it.
It's not horrendous but it is annoying I'm just wondering could it be the FV or something else?
