Out of the bottles we've sampled early, several of them have been bad (face shriveling), and the rest have had a fairly off taste. I'm stashing them to age and I'll check them in a few weeks, but this is more a concern of future sanitation than a past issue.
So I have recently upgraded from Mr. Beer to a full 5 gallon glass system (6.5 and 5 gallon glass carboys) and a plastic bottling bucket. First batch was great, but by the looks of the first few bottles the second batch might have been contaminated which is sad.
My best bet is the bottling...
