I'm a noob brewer that has done 5 batches so far.
My first 2 were amazing (1 amber and 1 Belgian tripel).
The third one was the same recipe as the 1st amber ale, but it turned out pretty bad.
Every time I would open a bottle the head would start pouring out and wouldn't stop for minutes. And also there was this bitter aftertaste that obscured the nice amber ale taste that I liked.
The fourth was the same Tripel as before. And it had the same problem with the head (this time it could be prevented by putting the bottle in the fridge for a while) and the same annoying aftertaste.
And now I've done a wheat beer, and it seems it's gonna have the bitter aftertaste as well.
So the question is: What's causing this? The recipes and the process seem to be the same...
