I have an Brewers Best IPA that I bottled a little over a week ago. I tried one the other day and it had very little carbonation and sweet. Also I noticed a bitter aftertaste. I tried a second bottle today this one had no carbonation, tasted like ipa and the same bitter after taste as the first...

I agree that everyone is very helpful! I am also very thankful to have found such a website. I have just started brewing and the few questions/problems I have had the responses have been great.
