First let me say that I am very lucky I am still an avid brewer. I had been looking forward to starting for sometime, and I brewed my first batch a week after turning 21. It was a brewers best Irish Stout kit, and it was excellent. I also just finished making a HME stout which was actually pretty good. Not as good as the first, but I was exceptionally lazy on the 2nd. However I have made 3 other extract batches and all 3 were mediocre. I was starting to think that all I could brew was stouts, but since I have made 4 all grain batches with friends and all 4 have been excellent. So again. People here seem to be happy with their extract batches. Is munton's extract just really bad, or am I a bad extract brewer or what is going on?
