Same taste in my beers

[ChubbyChipmunk]

I might have my first drain pour ever! Bottled last night (with a recipe given to me from local store with old ingredients). It tasted awful. Ill obviously give it time, but yuck. No more local store for me

Very new to brew. Only two batches under my belt and both have some twang taste. Certainly not undrinkable but want better like all of us. Heck I wouldn't know it was there or why without this Forum.
The way I understand it from reading this thread is that the twang can be lessoned or even eliminated by late addition of the LME/DME, but this causes an increase in desired or expected hop bittering(even though the chemically exact reason may be of debate).
Since I am new I am not sure what to do about how to calculate my hop schedule change to lessen the bittering.
Questions:
Would it help with a end of boil LME addition to lesson the overall boil time but maintain the same hop schedule and amount(except of course the initial bittering hop)? I am asking this in reference to maintaining a similar bitter to that of the recipe expectations.
I am a hesitant (due to lack of experience) that if I do to many changes/deviations from the recipe I will not be able to identify the reason for any problems that arise.

Funny seeing this thread pop back up today. It was this thread that got me to switch to BIAB. I was disliking the beer I was making from extract and did my research. Finally after reading this thread, on my last brew of extract I stuck my finger in the LME bottle after pouring it in and tasted the LME, yep, that was the flavor I was tasting in the finish of my beer. I've just kegged my first two batches of BIAB this week and although both were flat and warm when I tasted them, neither had that extract tang to them. I am so excited for them to get carbed up.
BIAB only adds about 1 hour of extra time to your brew session. You can also do it with all the equipment you already have (for the most part)
