Started brewing this year and for my third batch I brewed a pale ale that was supposed to be similar to a Stone Pale Ale. It's been in the fermenter now for 16 days and the gravity is stable at 1.012. I tasted my sample and it is very bitter, much more than I expected. Any chance this...

I was brewing my second batch the other night and in a late night state of fatigue and beer drinking I forgot to rinse my carboy after I sanitized it with C-brite. I realized as I was pouring in the wort but by then it was too late. I had good airlock activity on days 2,3,and 4. It has calmed...
