Alright folks I need some insight here.
My first two attempts were made with Coopers extract. Both times the color and carbonation were great. I did one week in primary, 2 weeks in secondary and 3 weeks in bottling like is generally recommended. The problem is that both batches ended up with what I would describe as a wine taste. It leaves very dry taste in in your throat. Some of the bottles weren't as bad and some were down right unpleasant. I think I am very careful about sanitation.
My plan for the third try is to just leave it in the primary for 3 weeks and bottle. Good idea??
