Hello all,
This is my first post and actually my first time joining a forum. I have been homebrewing since Christmas '06 and have brewed a nut brown ale, weizenbock, oktoberfest, bock, pale ale, and pumpkin spice. I've noticed that the beers end up having a similar taste, and I wonder if that has to do with the water I am using. I live in a small city and just use water from the tap.
Could this be the reason for the taste? The nut brown ale and bock were kit beers and the others were ingredients I put together during trips to various homebrew stores.
I am aware of the effect sanitization, cleaning, etc. has on beer, and I also wonder if the sanitizer I use has an effect? (It is One-Step no rinse stuff)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
