Hi all,
I brewed kits for about a year a few years ago and thought they were decent (better that the megaswill) and then stopped (was my housemates gear and I moved out). I started brewing again about 8 months ago and have taken it a bit more seriously and learned a lot and now do AG most of the time. I brew in an apartment and I assumed some of my techniques were less than ideal. Even in my kit days though, I never made a brew that I'd consider bad, and now I love pretty much everthing I make (except one winter warmer that I hope only needs more time...maybe it'll get tipped).
Is brewing really that easy that everything I've made is decent, or have I just been lucky? Or maybe they're not that great and my palate is just a bit poor (although I used to be pretty good with wine - don't read too much into that, I'm only 27, it's not like I'm some old wine ponce).
What are people's thoughts on the ease of brewing and the likelihood failure?
