Ok lots to look at there, here's some more detail on my system. Fermenter is identical to my brew buddy's so struggling to see that as being the issue but will try the boiled kettle to see if there is a discernible difference. No sealants at all are used wherever possible in my system. I am...

The other problem I am considering is water quality. It's a bit variable where I am and I did start using purified water but didn't on the last batch.
