I'll have to try that approach next time, I've got plenty of ideas brewing as to how to improve my process. And my puns. They're in the fridge now, for safety's sake.

I had several of my beers last night, and got only the faintest 'twang'. Is this something that should decrease with age? It's also possible I was just too critical with the first couple bottles.

Thanks for the solid advice. The brew is drinkable, some find the flavor almost unnoticeable, but I'm not terribly fond of it.

Thanks. I'll post my recipe soon, but I think you're probably right. Diacetyl was the closest flavor I found mentioned, but the flavor is also very reminiscent of my extract's aroma. As for racking, my father (also a brewer) never racks and found the notion odd. I however was adamant about following the recipe sheet provided by my LHBS, which recommended racking to a secondary at around six days.
