Did you dry butt in the secondary?

you need to ferment your beers longer than 3 days. usually, 10 days is a minimum for low gravity beers before you even think about bottling.

it's not at all surprising that it tastes like **** right now. it didn't have a routine fermentation, it hasn't been bottled for more than a few days, you force chilled it and you shook it up for some reason? that won't carbonate it more, the yeast have to consume sugar to make co2 and carbonate the beer, so, as mentioned previously, you'll need at least 3 weeks at room temp with the beer before you will want to evaluate the taste again.

yes i shook it up and as a result co2 came out of the beer and into the bottle head. but anyways i think the gravity was low because i did not steep the malt grain that came with the kit for more than 10 minutes so im guessing that was it. however i was just hoping its not contaminated lol thanks for your concern

Reading this on the crapper and if that's how it tastes, God bless you. The thread title is awesome and there are at least 3 chuckles in the post. If said recipe said to steep for 30 minutes, why not just follow instructions? 1.03~ Seems like it's gonna end up 2.5%. This is like asking why my dinner tastes like butt if I forgot to finish cooking the meat. Oh I get it, it's a joke. Got me. I hope.

Read a book on how to brew, then try again.

And for god sake, FOLLOW THE RECIPE, and steep for how long they tell you to... A 2.5% ABV beer sounds like crap... Bravo for the "Ass to Mouth Beer"!

This, or read a bunch here. It sounds like you did a lot wrong.
