On my first beer, (i am now on my 5th )i made CP's brown ale and when I did i failed to understand how much temperature makes a difference. Ever dumber, I failed to read in the instructions that it says to steep at 153 degrees.
Anyway, i did not follow this and steeped it at boiling temperatures for the entire time. I was wondering what effect this likely had on that beer.
Overall it was good especially for a first beer. I felt that it lacked mouthfeel and taste .. i guess it is hard to explain... i guess i would just want it to have some more flavor and was just wondering what effect my poor process had and what it could have been. I will have to brew it again just to try it out.
What do you think?
