Being that its only batch number 3, I thought this would be the right forum as a beginner brewer for some insight. I know I shouldn't be devising my own recipes yet bein a noob, but I used to be a chef and can't help it. 1st batch was a kit Porter that was low on 1 can of LME, turned out 3%ABV bland (drinkable though indeed). 2nd batch is a self devised APA loaded with Amarillo's and Cascades (can't wait to drink, sits in Secondary dry hopping away now witn taste and smell walking toward a Victory Hopdevil-ish beer).
