Hi everyone,
I've now brewed three iterations of an IPA, with varying quality. All are fine, but seem to have what I can only call an "extract-y" tang. Some of these beers have been partial mash, but there's always a sort of "green" flavor and smell. The bottles aren't too young, however; the flavor seems to stay.
Could this be because I sometimes have trouble getting a rolling boil? I get good bubbling, but by no means a rolling boil. Does this leave a bit too much extract taste?
I know this is general. Sorry for the imprecise language. I'm just hoping to brew a Two-Hearted clone soon and would like to have as good a process as possible.
Thanks.
