So, early Sept. I made Northern Brewer's American Wheat all grain kit. Everything seemed to go well. Yet after having been kegged for close to a month now it taste like I'm drinking hydrochloric acid. I've given it to a couple of people to try, and they all say the same thing, "tastes acidic".
Just a little background info, I used only distilled water, and used 5.2 to adjust the mash pH (maybe that's why it's acidic?).

Any thoughts?

Distilled water could be part of your problem. The entire brewing process benefits from minerals in the water.

Here's a brief article:
