Tripel & IPA

As an addendum to my post a few hours ago, I gave both the Tripel and the Amarillo IPA some preliminary tastes (flat and warm, of course) and I am ecstatic with the results. Even without significant aging, both beers taste excellent and exactly as expected. The bottom line: the desire to make beers without that certain "homebrewed" taste (that is, beer with the characteristics of professionally brewed samples) is as simple as going all grain. The range of possibilities available by giving up malt extract is just phenomenal. Needless to say, if you like IPAs or Tripels at all, I encourage you to let me know and I'd love to hook you up with some bottles of each of these beers, which I feel do quite a justice to what I feel I've learned over this entire process. They've renewed my love of brewing...not like I particularly needed it.
