For my first solo homebrew, I brewed this extract kit and fermented in a plastic bucket. I had to repitch a dry yeast 3-4 days after brewing because I may have killed the first yeast by rehydrating it to hot or keeping it out too long. It fermented in the low 60s for a week or so and then transferred to a second plastic bucket for a couple weeks and bottled a couple weeks after. It's been sitting for a week in the high 60s. Tried one tonight after putting it in the fridge for about 5 hours and it seemed fairly carbed but it has a chemical/Styrofoam/plastic flavor to it. It seemed to mellow out a bit after it warmed on the counter but that could have been wishful thinking. Any idea what it is or what I did to cause it? Does is maybe just need some aging time?
Sorry for the long ass post, I just wanted to give as many details as possible and I don't want this to happen again if it's something I did wrong.
Thanks!
