I just started my 8th batch this week (IPA-extract). My previous batches have turned out ok. A couple mild infections causing off taste. All in all my beers have all tased the same, Lacked any true flavor. Im hopefull this IPA will break the trend, although it started a little rough. about 24hrs into ferm. my bung flew off the top of my carboy. The ferm. was so violent that Im confident the contamination will be minnimal to zero. I have been reading through a lot of the threads and want to thank all the contributors, there is a lot of good info here. Just wanted to introduce myself to the group.
