Heres the deal...My IPA has been in bottles for 2 weeks now and the flavor is getting worse. I definitely notice a cidery smell which based on my limited knowledge, and my situation, is probably due to too much sugar or to short of fermentation time (along w/ others such as bacterial or wild yeast but I sanitized the hell out of my equipment so im praying its not that). I purchased a canned prehopped kit (which ive read to stay away from) and added 3 cups of sugar to it during the boil (I dont know why I chose 3 cups...the guy at the LHS told me to add sugar but i Dont remember how much so i guessed...yeah, i know not the smartest). Based on this...did I add to much sugar? Or did I not let the beer ferment long enough...I only let it go about 3 days (it seemed to be done after that so either i messed up or I got some bad yeast). Anyhow, is it possible to salvage this or should i dump it? Thanks
