"Good beer" is subjective, so what I'm wondering is how long you brewed (timeframe, or maybe # of batches) before you were brewing "quality beer" on a consistent basis.
I think we brew so many sub-par batches in the beginning that it's easy to fool ourselves into thinking a poor quality beer is average, and an average beer is fantastic. Because we invest so much into making it.
But when did you truly, honestly, unbiasedly hit your stride?
For me, I'm going to say roughly 18 batches. Which was several years. Mainly, it took that long for me to get the right equipment & process down. But also to know which ingredients I was misusing or abusing.
Or maybe I'm just still fooling myself. Maybe this journey will never end.
Curious to hear other peoples experiences.
