re: Homebrewing Thread: Volume II

I'm only 1 beer in and I prefer mine over commercial already. But I also prefer anything homemade over commercial, generally, when it comes to food.

Like you said, I prefer being able to dial something into my own tastes and have other people say it tastes good as well. I had plenty of positive comments on my amber, even though I could find things that I needed to improve on it. But I thought I did well with the grain bill. It just needs some mash and hops tweaking to perfect it.

I'm not a fan or IPA's or other overly hopped beers, most just taste like flowers or too citrusy. Seems like so much of the new beers coming out are just that. So for me doing new homebrews I can try new flavors of beers that focus more on the grains/malts than the hops.
