My first batch

[argmoth]

Hey everyone! New to the forum and new to homebrew.

I have a question for you all. I recently brewed up a Cooper's Real Ale kit. Went through extreme sanitation. Sanitized the heck out of EVERYTHING. Ever nook and cranny, every surface. Used Idophor.

Anyhow, it fermented in the primary for 8 days. all fermentation had stopped. Bottled, used corn sugar for priming.

My problem is, and it may just be from having an unexperienced pallette. I seem to be tasting an unusual taste. Almost like a vineagery type taste to it. It's sat in the bottle for about 2 weeks.

My question is, what would be causing this vineagery type taste? Could it be from using 2 lbs of corn sugar(trying to keep total cost cheap) instead of more malt extract, or do you think something went wrong? Or maybe it may just be from having an unexperienced pallette? Seeing as though I have only drank Bud light since I started drinking beer (about 12 years).

Thanks for the help and I hope you guys can steer me towards beer nirvana. :rockin:

It's probably just green. 8 days is pretty fast. I usually ferment 3 weeks then age in the bottle 2 to 4 weeks before the greenness is gone. I sometimes get a vinegar taste at bottling time, but it has always gone away with time.
Give it time. It will probably loose that vinegar taste in another 2 or 3 weeks.
