Hello all,
I've been brewing for a little over a year now with mixed results. Mostly do extract with specialty grains. I would like to go all-grain but before I make the investment in time and money I want to be sure of what I'm doing.
I have done perhaps a dozen batches and three of them have been what I consider bad. A couple have been over-carbed. Many have a flavor that I can't quite describe but it isn't good. Not undrinkable, just not something I want to serve to a friend.
I use Wyeast or White Labs in all my brews. The Belgians have been great - the others not so much, which makes me think my problems are related to yeast. The trouble is - how can I tell since I don't really have any experience?
I would be grateful for any advice.
