I have researched this a bit and found the potential causes of my flavor, but I could not find a solution.
Background:
After tasting my first brew, it has tastes like plastic. The brew fermented at way too high of a temp (upper 80s) and with unfiltered chlorinated city water.
After fixing the temp problem, I let it sit for almost a month in the secondary fermentor hoping the flavor to fade. I bottled last weekend, but the flavor was still the same.
The Brew was a Munton's Nut Brown Ale kit, OG was 1.040, FG was 1.010, I used a plastic "Ale Pale" for primary, and a glass carboy for secondary.
Will this flavor go away over time in the bottles? How long should I let my bottles sit before tasting them?
