Sodium Perc or infection?

[The Village Idiot]

I have a brew that has the dreaded band-aid/medicinal taste and smell. Can leaving Sodium Perc in contact with the fermenter or cube too long cause a problem? Lazy bugger didn't rinse it out for a week or so. Or do I have an infection of some sort?

Sod perc is basically food safe. Unless it had a strong scent then it wont be your prob

Normally associated with fermentation issues I believe.
