I finished my first batch nearly two weeks ago. Took a gravity reading a couple days ago and tasted tested it too. It isn't bad, but my wife and I both agree it has the "home brew" taste, which I'm assuming is extract "twang." We did a full boil with LME for all 60 minutes.
For next time I'm planning on using DME instead of LME and adding 1/4 at the start of the boil and 3/4 at the last 15 minutes. Hopefully that will help remove the "twang" but who knows. There seems to be conflicting information as to what causes it and how to resolve it.
