I have done a dozen or so extract recipes and just started all grains. I am concerned that my friends and I bask in the glory of our beer but lack the knowledge of how to identify mistakes.
How do you learn the flavors, etc., that identify things like under/over-pitching yeast, diacetyl, fermentation temps, etc.? I listen to a lot of home brewing podcasts, etc. but don't know how to get better at identifying brewing mistakes so I can get better at brewing beer.
For what it is worth, my LHBS isn't necessarily trustworthy as some of their brewing techniques are wrong which makes their opinion suspect.
Any ideas?
Thanks-
Mike
