That's what I used. Good ole tap water... mistake huh?

To be clear, this was not an extract kit as I think you indicate. It had a grain bag and an packet of malt.

My bad, its an American Pale Ale by "Craft a Brew".

Brew process was as directed. 15 minute grain bag steep at 155 degrees. Remove grain bag. Stir in malt and slow boil for 60 minutes.. Ice bath down to 75- degrees. Add yeast, shake, add blow off assy. and let ferment for 2 weeks.

Thanks for the answer. I brewed it from a kit and failed to crush the grains before boiling the wort.

First batch, american lager from grain, aged two weeks.. very bitter. Will ageing longer reduce bitterness??
