I am concocting my first recipe on my own, I am going to enter it into a Homebrewing contest. Since I am doing extract only, I want to get the best product I can possibly get.
Currently I am using a 3 gal pot, steeping, then using 6lb of LME and 1 of DME. I'm somewhat happy with my brews but they seem to have that twang. I am going to get a bigger kettle this week and increase the amount of my boil. Probably a 5 gal kettle and 4 gal boil.
What are your opinions on using LME and DME. As stated above, I've been using both and am somewhat happy with them, but I want the best quality I can get.
I will be making an IPA with some honey added at either flameout, primary, or secondary, which ever more experienced brewers think is best.
