So I'm three bottles into my second batch, and I'm having some inconsistent flavour. The first bottle was exquisite, but the second and third tasted off. This is the same off taste I had in my first batch (both extract), but I chalked that one up to having left my fermenter in the sun.... Interesting thing is that when I tasted the beer at the beginning of bottling day, the first taste was great, but when I drank the dregs, I had a bit of the sour/bitterness. Is it possible that the beer got skunked over the course of bottling? I used a plastic bucket for bottling, but it wasn't covered. I did the bottling at night in my kitchen, and I'm pretty sure the bulbs are incandescent (I'm out of town ATM, so I can't check).
The other possibility running through my head are that there's some problem with my plastic (bucket or siphon) which I got second hand. Could this be it?
So, a few details on the brew:
1 can Cooper's English Bitter + 1kg light DME, with a full boil. I made sure the liquid extract wasn't expired.
3 weeks primary, three weeks in bottles.
Any ideas?
