My last two batches I've brewed have been made using a turkey fryer for the initial boil. I've used extract kits, which I've used plenty of times before, and after the fermentation and bottling, both batches have had a lingering bitter aftertaste. I've followed the instructions pretty much to a T, and have been pretty close to the suggested temps (according to the cheap-o thermometer that came with the fryer). Would this issue indicate that I'm maybe leaving the bittering hops in too long or maybe boiling at too high of a temp and altering the flavor? It's so much easier brewing with that guy, but not too impressed with the end result.
