I've brewed up about 15 batches so far, mostly the red ale. BB kits. I sometimes end up with some batches having an excess bitterness. Same hops, same boil times. I usually do a 3.5-4 gallon boil (starting water) then ferment in the bucket. Should I try a smaller boil or closed fermenter? It's not all batches but a few ended up with a sharp bitter aftertaste.
