So i bottled my frist partial mash brew last week and opened a couple up lastnight. Tasted great when i sampled out of the secondary but came out of the bottles tasteing weird maybe kind of cidery, Buttery? I used corn sugar and not DME would the small amount of corn sugar produce such off flavors?
 
How was the level of carbonation? Is it like that for all the bottles or just one? How long has it been sitting in bottles for? One week did you say?
 
Carbonation was fine i opebed three shared with my roomates and carbonation was pretty much the same with all three. It's been in bottles for a week.
 
RDWHAHB! :mug:

Let it sit a few more weeks. 1 week in the bottles means the bottle fermentation just finished. It needs to condition for a while.

No that would not produce those off flavors. I agree with the others, let it sit(I know it's hard) and it will get better.
If you had said sour or vinegary THEN you would have a problem.
 
Buttery is probably diacetyl, which can be more noticeable when the carbonation forces it out of the brew. Give it a couple weeks at 70F and the yeast will clean it up.
