Hey!
My friends and I are thinking of pitching together for some homebrewed beer but I've no experience with this beyond making ginger beer . I'm curious about what kinds of tastes can I expect? I've had a hard time finding information about what kind of taste ranges can I expect to make with basic homebrew setups.
Most kinds of commercial beers we love to drink, especially brown ales and stouts and darker beers but also lagers and "wheaty" beers.
The craft beers sold in my local area have been hit and miss. Mostly it's pale ales with fruity or herbal flavors that were not our favorite. But I really enjoyed some of the brown ales and the more wheaty lighter craft beers I drank on a trip to Poland were some of my favorites.
Will I be able to brew something that tastes more like 'wheaty' lagers or darker beers or brown ales with a coffee-like flavor with the basic kit? Or will the beginner-friendly beers taste more like pale ales with fruity/herbal tones?
P.S. if you have tried simple beer kits with the kind of tastes I'm looking for I'd appreciate suggestions.
Cheers
