I brewed my first batch (4 since then) a month and a half ago, a Dry stout that I kept in primary for 4 weeks, I bottled 18 days ago, and yesterday after bottling a porter I made 2 weeks after this, I decided to see how it was doing and opened a bottle, have to say that I also opened a bottle a week after bottling and it had a lot of head but the body itself wasn't very bubbly, this time the beer is waaay carbonated, it feels like I'm drinking a coke! with a bubbling feeling in my throat.
I primed with "piloncillo" which is mexican brown sugar, the bottles have been kept at room temperature ~65-70 in a dark closet, is this normal? Is there anything I can do about it? I must also add that I didn't like the flavor, it wasn't bad but there's a bitter aftertaste that just didn't make me happy, I've heard that age might help with this flavor, should I aged them cold so they don't carbonate anymore?
Any tips?
