Or just did not taste like you thought it would? I aim for local brewery quality and i'm far from that.
I have tasted 10 batches. 3 extract 4 mini-mash and now 3 all grain. Only one came out good (and it's not even all that good).
I have learned a lot in the past 6 months especially the last month with mashing.
I have 5 new batches fermenting now yet to taste. Hopefully it's just the learning curve.
I think fluctuating temps and unhealthy pitching of dry yeast and maybe not making starters has been my problem.
I'm anal about star-san.
Is it just a common thing to start of making crappy beer in the beginning?
