Exactly as the title suggests, I went to local HBS just to grab some carb drops & sampled their latest recipe from the kegerator which was made from a brand name kit with some DME, specialty grains & hops. I've only ever tasted full extract or AG brews before, both methods have delivered excellent results with great beer. This one had what could only be the infamous 'kit twang' I've read about. It was most unpleasant.
Now, given that it was the HBS you would assume temp controlled fermentation was adhered to, so my question is, do all kits result in some type of twang? I brew only extracts & FWK's and have always had great tasting beer
