Maybe its your water or a part of your brewing/fermentation process.

Yeah it is easy brew a good beer. It is much harder to reproduce one. The processes are just as important to the final taste. I write exactly what I do for every single brew just in case I make a really good one. I have had so so results with clones. very confusing when there are so many different "clone" recipes for the same beer.

No there is something missing that only the brewmaster of sn knows?

That could be it too. Those Brewmaster's do some interesting stuff to be unique.( priming with different yeast,etc)

If you use a garden hose, be sure to get a drinking safe hose. Otherwise you inadvertently put a lot of phenols into your water and those don't come out with carbon filters. It will give you one of those "can't quite put my finger on it" problems.

If you have brewed the recipe in this thread http://forum.northernbrewer.com/viewtopic.php?t=15532 and are dissatisfied, then you have a process or water problem, to be inflammatory. My experience with this recipe has been great, particularly after I paid attention to my water.
