First real brew (I made a few mr. beer kit beers to "practice"). I used a 4lb pale lme, 2 lbs of amber dme, 2 oz cascade 60, 1 oz cascade 15. 2 weeks in fermenter, then bottled. I was crazy with the sanitation, everything was sanitized. I waited a week then tried one beer, not really carbonated, but tasted right. Waited another week, tried one beer, carbonated great, delicious. Three days later, tried another beer. Cloudy, smelled metal/sweet, hop flavor almost gone. WHAT HAPPENED? I am tempted to call it a loss but I am not sure how it can go from great to bad in 3 days. There are no foreign entities in the beer, clear as day in the bottle. When I pour the sediment looks like its rolling in balls. Please help.
