After about 7 batches I'm disgusted.
Amber
Hef
Red
Blue moon clone
blue moon clone
Another amber
another wheat
They all taste damn near exactly the same, same color, everything. Kind of a malty taste I guess, not pleasant but drinkable. I have been using dry yeast, rehydrated, no starter. 5gal batches, steeping specialty grains and LME.
I am going to try an all grain in two weeks, if that tastes the same as my last 7 batches I am going to keep the kegerator and just keep good microbrews on tap.
disgusted with my lack of brewing skill. I've read a lot, watched a lot of videos.. just cant find a process that works for me.
I am guessing it is a yeast problem. That they aren't eating enough of the malt and that the malt is overpowering whatever else is in there and thats why they all taste the same.
I am going to use a starter with my all grain coming up and will try Beirmuncher's centennial blonde. I dont care if it is the greatest thing ever, I just want different.
Sorry for any typos, feeling to frustrated to slow down and spell check
