Hey all;
I am on my third batch since starting again. Back in the day I was always a little disappointed with my beers as they were never very good. So I gave it a rest for about a decade and am now back in the game and enjoying brewing again.
However, in my beers I still detect a homebrew 'twang' - not sure how to detect it other than it seems to be a little after taste that runs thru all of my homebrews. The beer is much better than back in the day when I was doing a single fermentation in glass.
I am currently using malt extracts(very fresh) and custom recipes from my LHBS and the typical initial fermentation in a bucket / 2nd in carboy I see others using on this site.
Again, my beers are generally pretty good and enjoyable - but am not sure about the common flavor running thru all of them. Is this typical?
I don't think this is an aging issue, because last night I cracked an IPA that had been in the bottle for over a month. Great carb, good taste - but again the slight twang.
thanks!
