Anyone else completely despise extract? I am very glad I switched to all grain, the improvement in my brews taste has been exponential.
I have a number of cases of extract brews that I just am not into at all, but I surely will drink them as late night slammers. they all have the same ( or very similar ) taste, they were about all composed of 3.3 lb cans of LME and 2-3 LBs DME plus 1 to 3 oz of hops. Sure extracts potential is dictated by what you do with it, but I have re-brewed beers again as AG batches, and they blow the extract batches away... how old could the extract in my lhbs's kits have been? I know my flavors are unique to my situation, but I am saying this is what I hate about it!
One thing extract did for me ( and you as well I'm sure) was introduce (most of ) the brewing process and basically prepare me for all grain, so I have to have to pay some respect.
Basically what I am getting at is extract does suck really bad, I know that there are a lot of brewers that stand up for it, and that is understood...
Anyone else completely despise extract or have a really bad experiance with it? Anyone really hate it for its demonic flavors? anyone that doesnt stand up for it?
