I just opened a bottle from my very first batch and now I have a few questions. Since this was my first batch it was an extract kit (Brown Ale from Mountmellick) and I'm sure I made some mistakes along the way. My first question is this: 1) It has an over carbonated taste to it. Kinda like when you get a soda thats all carbonation.
I did use the priming taps instead of sugar and I bottled in 12oz bottles.
2) It also has very little aroma to it and at the bottom of the glass it has a sugar like residue.
So any ideas? The help would be greatly appreciated. I will be honest one of my BIGGEST MISTAKES was I fail to take any notes. I realize now I should have.
