Hi Jamie, you should try the Fresh Wort Kits that some of the site sponsors sell.jamie72 said:I am new to brewing and I am wondering how do I make a beer without that tell tale taste of a home brew??
Is it the carb drops, is it because I use the tins and not AG??
If anyone on the gold coast has the patients I'd love to learn all I can.
Cheers Jamie

This was a big one for me, and a handful of kits (partial mash or steeping from memory) were very good beers. If you grab a can off the shelf, always grab the one with the furtheres used-by-date or go to a LHBS that turns over a bit.black_labb said:I've read that old malt often causes a metallic taste, I'd try and use tins from a brew shop as opposed to the supermarket as it is probably fresher (possibly sitting in storage for a long time where brew shops would be likely to get regular shipments).
I was working casually at a brew shop and I did a few brews for samples based on kits. They always had a bit of grain and hops in them and would often use more malt than dextrose or maltodextrin. We never had samples with "homebrew taste" when doing things this way. We didn't always use the kit yeast but when we did it was fine (just make sure there is enough yeast, a 7g sachet is not enough despite being what is included in many kits)
