I did my first all-grain batch 2 weeks ago, and while it tastes better than the extract kits I've used, it still has that odd, cidery, unprofessional homebrew flavor.
I am still using my Mr. Beer fermenter; I just picked up a glass one but haven't used it yet. I'm wondering if it's the fermenter, the water, or time? My processes in brewing seem fine - I use a bag instead of a mash tun, but I make sure to cook the grains for a good hour or maybe more, and add hops during the boil. I generally boil for 60-90 minutes using various hop additions.
My IPA came out tasting like every other beer I've made until the end of the flavor profile which brought forth a beautiful bitter hoppy finish.
Any tips? Thanks and glad to be a part of the forums.
