I know in some other threads there has been some discussion about a perceived taste in homebrew, a sort of home brew "twang" if you will. Some have said this is a result of extract brewing while others contend that great tasting beer can be made from extract. I'm sure that others can indeed make great tasting beer from extract; however, I am not one of them
So far every batch of extract brew that I have made has had the same underlying flavor to it, no matter what the style of beer. This "twang" in my beer has finally come to an end. About 6 weeks ago I made my first two batches of all grain beer. I just tasted one of them and all I can say is WOW!
Even my wife (who normally doesn't like my beer) loved it!. The homebrew twang is gone!!! All I taste is malty goodness with a perfect balance of hops. So the moral of my story is that if any of you are on the fence about jumping into all grain brewing you should go ahead and make the jump. It's nice when the fruits of your labor actually taste good!
