I've brewed 2 batched all the way to being in the bottle 3 or more weeks.
Both have a pronounced bitter aftertast. I thought the first one was because I used bleach as a sanatizer and maybe didn't rinse enouph.
The second I used a no rinse cleaner from the LHBS and have the same bitter tast, but not as bad as the first.
Is it possible the plastic buckets absorbed the bleach and causing the bitterness?
I'm afraid to brew anymore until I get this figured out. Maybe I'll just get 2 new buckets to eliminate the posibility.
Any thoughts on what else could cause the bitter aftertast in both batches?
Thanks
