I'm relatively new to brewing (my 4th brew is planned for this coming weekend) and I'm having some problems with quality control seemingly at the bottle level, esp with my most recent batch. It was a kit IPA with steeped grains that tasted good, if strong, when i took a sip before bottling. Having let the bottles rest for 3 weeks or so, I now find that some are drinkable while others are rife with off-flavors. Bottle conditioning has been going on in a relatively well controlled dark room so I'm not really sure what the source of this could be. Is there something I'm not seeing here? Is this variability normal? Thanks.
