15 gallons of beer so far this year!

If you go to the "How to Brew" website, chapter 21.2 is very helpful in identifying off flavors and their causes. I'd post the site address, but I'm too new!

Yeah, been there. Did the same thing many years ago. You can keep the lid on to get it to boil faster, but as soon as it starts always remove the lid. The batch I made with the lid on sort of smelled like beer mixed with a can of corn. This was years ago so I don't remember if it got any better...

Once it's carbed it may taste quite different and better.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!. Good to know about the gallon difference. I spent a lot of time reading the barclay perkins blog too It made me want to find out even more about English ale.

I live a little north of New York City. Been brewing for about seven years and I've always liked English (or is it British?) beer. Brewed a lot of it. I've tried as many as I can get over here, and I really like whatever I've had. Thought I'd join to get more info, recipes, and ideas.
