My friends and I just tasted our first batch ever last night - an english pale ale. It was delicious. Very caramelly and tasty, we were very excited. We went for our second taste tonight and cracked open a couple, but the beer was not good. It had terrible after tastes and was not as sweet, it really didn't taste the same at all. We bottled 2 weeks and three days ago. I am concerned that some taste good and some don't. One difference I can think of is that last night (the good beer) all the bottles were sierra nevada bottles, and tonight we had various other long necks (bass, magic hat, saranac etc...). Does the conditioning time differ in different bottle shapes? Do you guys think that the bad ones just need more time? Are some "green" while others are not? We are kinda confused and the high from last night was crushed tonight. Please let me know of any input! Thanks!
