Okay so I just brewed my first solo home brew. It was an English Style Pale Ale. I was shooting for Bass. And while carbination, alcohol, and hops were extremely close. My beer lacked in maltiness. What did I do wrong. I asked the pros at my local shop (beer nut) what I would need they provided me with a kit designed more for american pale ales, with some different/extra hops. I guess I just dont know enough about the process yet to figure out why my pale ale was not malty enough. My guess is one or both of two things: 1st it needed to be cooked longer and or hotter. 2nd it needed more malt. O yea as of now until i built up m ability I am an extract brewer. the kit had both a jar of malt extract, and some dry grains. I am pretty sure the dry grains should have been cooked a bit longer as I misred some directions I had. With the malt extract I dunno if the cooking was wrong or not. Anyone got help on this I would love it. thank you.
