So I recently got into brewing (three weeks before xmas). My first beer, an irish red, has a very distinct bitter taste. I used tap water for the water I boiled (2.5 gal). But spring water to fill to five in my primary bucket. Could the tap water cause that sour bitter taste? Also I am using plastic buckets from midwest supplies. Anyone else get funny tastes from the plastic buckets?
My second beer is a honey bee ale and so far after two weeks in the bottle it seems to have the same bitter first taste. Although it should still take another two weeks before it is ready.
