I bottled my first batch (from extract, Muntons Anniversary Ale) a little over a month ago, after 2.5 weeks in the carboy, and from what I've read, it should be getting to the point of tasting good about now... but the beer is still very bitter, with a harsh aftertaste, some bottles bordering even on undrinkable (I've been drinking about one a week, and wound up pouring out the one I opened yesterday).
Is it just a matter of just waiting longer, or should I start to worry about something being wrong with the batch? The biggest error I think I made in the brewing was leaving the glass carboy exposed to sunlight, could that be the culprit? Like I said, this is my first attempt, so I'd like to figure out how to get a better result next time.
