Ok been brewing for a bout 6 months now starting with a varety of coopers kits and have been pretty happy with the results, but was still needing that little bit extra.
So i bought a brew pot and have tried a few different recipies from this site and a few of my own, using leftover hops etc.
have tried a few different yeast including Us04,US05 and brewcraft american ale.
i have found so far that the final product has been way too yeasty for my liking, with the first batch beeing bottled now for around 2 months.
i have only tasted the brewcraft mix with readings and it doesnt seem as bad as the others.
so my question is, is that what these "better" yeasts taste like or is it that the just arnt ready for drinking yet.
also does any1 have a decent recipy for a well balanced, mid hopped flavour ale that they can recommend that will keep my interests in brewing this way.
cheers..
