I only have a hand full of brews under my belt, but I small extract batch of BM Centennial Blonde Ale in my Mr. Beer LBK.
I modified the extract version for 2 gallons.

It fermented for 3 weeks at 64f. I was lazy and didnt check the FG. It was really clear before I bottled it. Bottled for 2 weeks, it seems mostly carbonated, but taste like cleaning chemicals. Now that I think back about it, I tried it a few times before I bottled it, and it has a very similar taste but I just figured it was the green/warm/un-carbonated taste.
I use dawn dish soap (1-2 small drops) to clean out the primary and use star-sans for all my sanitation needs.
Never had a beer taste like this yet, I will let it set for a couple more weeks before I try it again, I am guessing its just not ready, but wanted to make sure I didn't do anything wrong.
