Hello all, been "trolling" around for a few weeks stealing some tips here and there.
My basic question is around the 'homebrew taste' - that *insert techie name here* indefinable something that seems to divide pub/shop bottled beers against homebrews. My dads and mates homebrews have all had it.
I'm on my 2nd brew, and couldn't resist a quick taste from the fermenter last night. Like the first brew it has that *insert techie name here*.
I've started on kits, the first a Coopers English Bitter tin using granulated sugar, the second a Better Bitter IPA pack, using brewing sugar.
Neither are nasty, but they have that *insert techie name here*. Drank back to back with a shop bottled beer, the first batch is really quite nice.
Why? What is it? How do I get rid? When I eventually go solo and start with all raw materials, how do I avoid it?
I realise this question has probably been asked, but not knowing the *insert techie name here* it's difficult to find. :fro:
[and note, my place of work are internet nazi's and I can't spend hours browsing ]
