Ok,
so ive been brewing alot with my new all grain setup from last april. did a brew a week last winter getting all my grain by post from Grain and grape which was great. Ive made some good ones and bad ones and some inbetween but still trying to crack out a good common beer that my non brewing mates will love. i know i know if they dont appreciate a nice balanced beer or are not a hop head then why worry. but i really just want to make a common one once and for all and show them all up and shut them up once and for all.
so far ive tried these
A carlton draft clone
5kg 2 row pale malt
yeast s 04
pride of ringwood 9.9%
60 min 15g
5 min 7 g
mashed round 67deg
done a few recipes around this even changing the grain mix to a more IPA style
4.2kg 2 row
.3 wheat
.25 crystal
still nothing really comes out right
I tried all pride of ringwood with
4kg 2 row
.5 vienna
.3 wheat
POR 9.8%
60 MIN 15G
10 MIN 11G
dry hop 2 days in 7g
mashed 62 deg
it came out ok but still left a bitter unpolite taste at the end
I also tried A ESB MIX
4.5KG crip marris otter
.23 simpsons dark
horizon 12%
amerillo 8.2%
60 min 12g horizon
10 min 15g amerillo
o min 15g amerillo
mashed round 66deg
im just after a good beer that tastes really like the commerical beers. low ibu. a dryish finish and dominated by malt without being sweet
I could go into more detail with the above recipes but its just to give you a idea. All fermenting is controlled to the degree and they make nice beers but just not really close to anything that you could put it next to.
any advice or recipes would great

cheers
