I have just tried by third batch that i made the other day. It has only been bottled a couple of weeks so its too young to taste all that nice but its FLAT. There is no taste of the carbonation drops (and no i didnt forget to put them in) and the beer tastes a bit strange. I fermented it for just over 2 weeks and i thought it would be fine. OG was 1.044 and FG 1.011. On the last couple of days however a dark ring appeared around the top of the mix which i presumed was just telling me to get it bottled, this spead to about the top quarter over the next day and when I tasted the beer it tasted as it does now. Im just wondering if I left the beer fermenting too long as I have only left the first two batches 7 and 10 days but they were underdone. I also had it sitting at 28*C most of the time it was fermenting so I presume that didnt help. Please try explain to me if my beer is ruined and if it will do any damage to me to drink it It doesnt taste that bad if its cold enough
