Gentlemen and Ladies of HBT! I write to you today with great joy and abundant pleasure to report that my partial mash brew (5.25lb total grain bill), including a late malt extract addition (15 min left in boil) was bottled quite recently, and, upon performing a taste test, I was greeted by the absense of the TWANG that has pervaded my brews thus far. At each bottling the twang has been present, not today!
I've read of this twang, and abhorred it in the beers that I've brewed so far. It has indicated to me "Ahh yes. I made this. beers that are purchased don't taste like this." A sad reminder that I can't do it like the big boys. These days are over!
As I write this, I am drinking some of the last of my twangy beers, and look forward to the 3-4 week wait for this beer to be ready for consumption.
I bid you a fond farewell and happy brewing!
(yeah, I'm a dork, sue me)
