I'm 3 batches deep in homebrewing and have only tasted my first batch so far. My first batch was an English Brown Ale extract kit from Brewers Best. I just put some in the fridge yesterday morning after sitting at room temp for 2 weeks and had people over last night to try them with me.
Everyone approved of the beer, including some of the woman that came over, and kept going back for more. The funny thing is I wasn't all that impressed. It wasn't terrible by any means but just had something different to it that I can't pinpoint. I kept saying it has a funky sweetness to it but no one else agreed with me - go figure. We all got good and drunk to say the least, I guess I'm just my biggest critic. Nothing wrong with that I don't think, I just want to brew perfection!
After my 2nd brew (also an extract) I switched to All Grain and I am anxious to see what the difference in taste will be. Is there a noticeable difference in AG vs Extract?
