Is there a key brewing lesson or fact that you learned recently or in the past many months of brewing ? Here's mine:
In a couple of weeks I will hit my first year of brewing mark. And its a been great year of learning and brewing with only 3 brews having to be tossed out due to boo-boos. Started out with a recipe from the brew shop - then a couple more brew shop recipes - found BSmith and began mainly tweaking IBUs - using BSmith to brew clones - then more tweaks. And recently tried a recipe pretty much my own --- which flopped.
Key lesson is that its very possible to concoct a mix of ingredients that look good - but may not be able to ferment to a satisfactory point.
So with that in mind, I humbly move forward ....
