Successful taste

[Popspicker]

Thanks for all your tips over the last few weeks.
After a first disappointing brew with tap water and added sugar, I went on to one with more DME and cheap bottled water.
What a difference! :P
I have only just taken it away from the warmth to a cool place and thought I would just have a cheeky taste.
It is already better tasting than the other and that one is 2 months old now.
I'm planning to go all grain after Christmas, am I going to be amazed at the step up in quality, as some people seem to say?

proper water treatment would improve it further we never used to treat water for brewing but when we did it made a vast difference :thumb:

the simple answer is "just you wait!!"

i did a few kits, 1 partial mash and was lucky enough to get a really cheap AG set.

i was blown away at how much better even a simple AG was.

plus you then get to tinker around and make a beer to your liking. there are so many different ways to incorporate the same 4 things. Grain, water, hops and yeast.

good luck! :

Thanks for the replies guys.
Just about given up on the first one, especially after trying this latest one.
I keep trying to convince myself that it is improving but the new one just blows it away for taste.
