I don't even know how to start a new post... DUH!
So I'll reply to this one.
I made wine for years but never brewed beer.
I made my first kit yesterday...I think I did a few things wrong (I can NEVER follow a recipe without adding to it)
Followed the instructions for Young's Harvest Stout..
THEN boiled up a jar of 750g Pure Cane Molasses and a jar of Malt Extract from Holland and Barrett 454g with water until it seemed to have desolved with simmering.
Put that in the fermenter and made up to 3.75 gallons as per instructions.
Added yeast and off it went..GREAT!
This morning I tasted it and it has a VERY bitter after taste that lingers.
What can I do to make it less bitter?
